Panaroma route

Today, some of us opted to do a walk in the area called the Panaroma Route. It was a 3 hour circular walk around Inzell and was a great surprise. We wandered through farm yards and forests. Lots of notices (sadly in German only) explaining the wildlife and vegetation. We past a number of marshes, normally the home to beavers, but sadly none in sight. My sister explained to us that Germany has a big project to recover marsh areas. The walk included a stop at a river (Falkenseebach). A notice referred to Pastor Sebastien Kneipp, who was a naturopath in the 1800s. He was an advocate of hydrotherapy (water cure) - we tested his theory by walking barefoot in the ice-cold water. Very cold and lots of stones to walk on. Of course, we ended the hike with coffee, beer, and Kaiserschmarren. Sunday night supper was hosted by the cousins from the US. It included chilly and homemade corn bread. We were pleased to have our daughter Katie from the UK with us for a few days. Lots of fun was had by all with our baby picture competition. Oldies were mainly represented by black and white photos and the next generation by coloured photos. The best score - 23 correct guesses out of a possible 34.Leggi altro
