Oh . . . Away Down South in the Land of . . . Mountains

And on to Bavaria!  We spent three nights in a small but well known village called Mittenwald - famous for its Bavarian charm, steep mountains and painted houses. From there we also took day trips to the Zugspitz - the highest peak in Germany - and to a fairy tale castle called Neuschwanstein. Not a lot of time to write today - so I'll just let the pictures do the talking!

We had to go through Austria to get there - just a quick view for now

Where we stayed - the Post Hotel

an afternoon hike on the trail around Lake Eibsee

A view of the lake from the cable car- and yes, we walked the whole trail!
