More of the Buckelwiesen

Last leg. We were both getting tired, and knew there would be some elevation gain on the way into Mittenwald, and then through the town itself. It was getting close to dinner as well. Or at least, we were going to have to pick something up as places closed early and we were going out to see the local traditional music ensemble play in the park that night.

Bad news, it looked like rain was returning. We saw dark clouds on the horizon to the west, and unsure how the weather moved there, weren't sure what it might mean for us. We were really out on the fields now, so it wasn't like we could just hop the bus that connected the smaller towns to Mittenwald.

We pressed on passed a lot of pretty flowers and through the rolling hills. The mountains were looming closer. Finally, we started the climb up, the trail went into the trees, and we came out right where the road entered Mittenwald.

We decided to try our first döner in Germany. We make and eat out a good deal of Middle Eastern food, various national cuisines, and have had döner as a sandwich, the way they also serve it in Germany, at a Christmas market in the US. So we knew about what to expect. We wanted to get it from the place on the main street in town, because it looked more authentic-- like it was definitely a quick serve, street food kind of place. Unfortunately, no one was there, so we went to other place we saw. Suffice it to say, we should have waited to get our döner until later in the trip.Baca lagi
