User provided description:  

The Wank is a popular panoramic mountain near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Since the Wank is accessible by cable car, the extensive summit plateau receives many visitors in the summer season. It is most beautiful on the Wank in late autumn or in winter, when the cable car is at a standstill and the hikers are alone on the mountain. But a visit to the Wanks also has its charms in the summer season. The sunny ascent route can be done early in the year and already offers a wonderful view of the Wetterstein Mountains during the ascent. And of course there is also the Wankhaus, which is enthroned at the summit and, in addition to food and drink, offers a fantastic panoramic view of the Karwendel, the mountains around Garmisch and the Estergebirge. If you cross the Wank and descend via the Frauenmahd or the Rosswank, the Esterbergalm offers a second, beautifully situated rest stop.
