    Garmisch, Germany (Days 1 & 2)

    27. september 2023, Tyskland ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F

    What we did:
    - Arrived in Garmisch late in the day after our Olpererhutte hike in Mayrhofen. This is our BEST lodging of the trip! Massive space, two balconies with views of the mountains, and a big jacuzzi tub for soaking our worn out hiking muscles! Knowing that we were about to have 5 straight days of schnitzel and sausages, coupled with the fact that we were definitely over Italian food again, we opted for Asian fusion takeout. Picked up our food and enjoyed our favorite Airbnb with a relaxing night in. Slept in and got about 10 hours of sleep that night. We also decided we were going straight sober the next few days in preparation of Oktoberfest, suffice to say we were well rested and feeling good!
    - Trent found his best option for a haircut (one that didn’t look like they give “Hitler Youth” haircuts) in town. Although he came back pretty shook up, as the cut happened very quickly and there was some combination of baby powder and flame used to make him smell good and get rid of his ear hair and unibrow. After several reassurances from Steph, Trent has decided he is “OK” with his haircut. Trent went for a run and Steph continued to catalog previous trip pictures and look at wedding venues (yes, Helen and Sally we are thinking about having an actual wedding)!
    - Drove to Lake Eibsee and took a walk around the lake. Had a conversation about whether or not we are desensitized to beautiful lakes now that we have visited at least 7 during our time here.
    - Headed to the main strip to check out the downtown area. Given the previous point on cuisines that we are tired of and have available to us, we decided on a burger joint. Great burgers and great place for dinner! Headed home early to get some sleep before heading to Munich the next day!
    - Woke up a bit earlier to go to a very promising Wafflhaus in town. Showed up along with 9 other Americans to discover that the restaurant was closed. Yet again validating that Americans are the only ones looking for breakfast in Europe.
    - Headed to Ludwigstraße to look at the painted buildings and grab coffees and a pastry. Found a cute little bakery and hung out with the old German women as they gossiped and we ate some great German baked goods!
    - Headed over to Partnachklamm gorge for a quick hike. We preferred this gorge over the one we visited in Slovenia because the rock faces were far more impressive and there were cool caves to walk through. We said goodbye to our favorite Airbnb and headed out to Munich!

    What we ate:
    - May Man asian fusion: Pho, pad Thai, fried rice, edamame, and gyoza
    - Coffee, breakfast bars, and leftover Asian food for brunch
    - Shaka Burgerhouse: Avocado burger for Steph and Kramer Slamer burger for Trent. Ice Tea and water for drinks 😁
    - Bakery: Pretzel, sandwich, apple filled donut, and coffee cake
    - McDonalds on the road to Munich…shame

    Fun facts:
    - The 1936 Olympics were held in Garmisch. Trent claims to have never seen a ski jump in real life (Pohlman’s will have to fact check this).

    Oberammergau

    23. juli 2023, Tyskland ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Between visiting the two castles we stopped for half an hour at Oberammergau, a small town of around 5,000 people known for its storybook and religious illustrations on houses (pictures taken from the bus, sorry!) and the fact that every ten years the townspeople perform the Passion Play - the story of Jesus' death and resurrection.

    The town is very beautiful and we enjoyed the stop a lot. We visited a souvenir shop that had beautiful locally made cuckoo clocks which James sadly would not let Alysha buy to bring home (again, no photos in the store unfortunately).

    The Passion Play tradition came about during the bubonic plague, when after half the town had died the remaining townspeople vowed that if the rest of the town was spared by God they would perform a play depicting Jesus' life and death every ten years. No further townspeople died and they honoured their vow. The town performs it for an entire summer season in a dedicated theatre in town on years ending in 0. Performers must have lived in the village for 20 years to be eligible to be in the play.

    During the 20th century the play experienced much controversy due to the explicit anti-Semitism included in it; the play was even endorsed by Hitler in 1934. Minor revisions to address the antisemitism occurred in the 60s and 80s, though international Jewish groups still considered the play significantly antisemitic. Further major revisions in 1990 and 2000 resulted in a performance which Jewish groups do not consider antisemitic.

    Linderhof castle

    23. juli 2023, Tyskland ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    The first stop on our day trip to Bavarian castles was Linderhof, one of three castles built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria (two of which we saw), and the only one completed before his mysterious death at age 40.

    Photos are unfortunately not allowed inside either of the palaces we visited, but we encourage you to google their interiors!

    This palace was completed in 1886 and built in baroque and second rococo style to evoke - and sometimes even replicate - Versailles. Louis XIV of France, who lived 200 years before and built Versailles, was an idol of Ludwig's.

    The palace is quite small as Ludwig was a recluse and didn't want this palace to accommodate guests of any kind.

    Ludwig was found dead in a lake with his psychiatrist (also dead) the day after he was taken prisoner by his government because of apparent mental instability (in more recent years it has been accepted he was not mentally unwell, but his government was sick of him). It's unclear whether his death was murder or suicide - it's apparently unlikely to have been drowning as he was a well-documented strong swimmer.

    2_Die Partnachklamm

    22. juni 2023, Tyskland ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    Tourismus

    Von 1910 bis 1912 erfolgte unter schwierigsten Bedingungen und großem finanziellen Aufwand die Erschließung der bis zu 80 Meter tiefen Partnachklamm für den Tourismus. Im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes Wegbereiter für die Erschließung war 1885 ein verheerender Windwurf in den Wäldern im Partnach- und Ferchental sowie im Schachengebiet oberhalb des Reintals. Damals gab es bereits erste Anstrengungen, Stege durch die unzugängliche Partnachklamm anzulegen, um das Triften zu erleichtern. 1886 konnte ein notdürftiger Durchgang geschaffen werden, indem Eisenträger in die steilen Felswände knapp oberhalb des Flusses angebracht wurden, die mit Holzbohlen belegt waren. Auf diesem Triftsteig standen die Holzarbeiter und lenkten mit ihren Grieshaken die durch die Klamm treibenden Stämme. Reste der ehemaligen Triftanlage sind heute noch zu erkennen. Bis dahin wurde der gefährliche Triftsteig hauptsächlich von Jägern und Forstarbeitern genutzt.

    Im Zuge des ständig wachsenden Fremdenverkehrs entdeckten aber auch immer mehr waghalsige Touristen die Partnachklamm, weshalb sie 1912 als Naturdenkmal auch für Besucher erschlossen wurde. 1930 wurde sie auch im Winter begehbar und damit die sehenswerten Eisgebilde in der winterlichen Klamm zugänglich. Heute gehört die Partnachklamm zu den eindrucksvollsten Schluchten der bayerischen Alpen, die jedes Jahr mehr als 200.000 Besucher in ihren Bann zieht

    Garmisch-Partenkirchen

    12. juni 2023, Tyskland ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    We are finishing our alpine tour of Germany and Austria in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, just a short drive from Zugspitze, we spent our time exploring the old town and looking at the amazing view from our hotel (that big mountain is Zugspitze).

    We finished the day with an amazing dinner, I had white asparagus, a German delicacy that comes in season from around April and is enjoyed with hollandaise sauce, I can tell you it was AMAZING! Oh and I got hit on by the Bavarian waitress called Erika, Hannah was not impressed!

    Die erste Woche hat René mit Remote Work zugebracht, währenddem Katherina und Mondavi an einem Agilityseminar im Hundesporthotel Wolf teilgenommen haben.

Körperlich müde aber glücklich geht's nun weiter mit unserer Polen-Rundreise mit dem Wohnmobil....Les mer

    KnorrhĂźtte-Zugspitze

    21. september 2024, Tyskland ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C

    🇩🇪 Um möglichst problemlos bis zur Sonn Alpin wandern zu können, sind wir schon recht bald los. Der Schnee ist dank der Kälte der Nacht noch hart und die Spuren der Wanderer vom Vortag noch sichtbar. Trotzdem sinken wir immer wieder ein und müssen über ein paar Felsen klettern. Die Sicht ist atemberaubend, der Schnee glitzert dank der Sonne und im Himmel sehen wir noch den Mond. Nach 3 Stunden kommen wir oben an und nehmen die Bahn hoch zur Zugspitze. Leider wäre es zu Fuss nicht machbar gewesen. Oben geniessen wir noch etwas die Sonne, trinken und essen etwas gemeinsam, bevor die Wege sich wieder trennen. Servus!Les mer

    Garmisch-KnorrhĂźtte

    20. september 2024, Tyskland ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C

    🇩🇪 Nach einem reichhaltigen Frühstück haben wir uns auf den Weg gemacht. Von der Partnachklamm zur Bockhütte bis hin zur Reintalangerhütte. So lang so gut. Von dort bis zur Knorrhütte wird es dann recht anspruchsvoll, da einiges an Schnee liegt. Darunter Geröll. Konditionell gut zu machen, jedoch wird es technisch anspruchsvoller. Viele Wanderer, die wir auf dem Weg getroffen haben sind zurück oder sind dort in der Hütte geblieben. Wir haben entschieden, wenigstens bis zur Knorrhütte zu wandern. Nach knapp 20 km und 8 Stunden sind wir glücklich und durstig in der Knorrhütte angekommen. Nach einem leckeren Abendessen und ein paar Schnäpsen (mit polnischen Freunden lässt sich das nicht vermeiden 😜) sind wir in unser 8er Zimmer ins Bett gefallen und haben versucht zu schlafen.

    🇮🇹 Dopo una ricca colazione, partiamo per la nostra escursione. Dalla Partnachklamm al rifugio Bockhütte e poi al rifugio Reintalangerhütte. Fin qui tutto bene. Da lì al rifugio Knorrhütte diventa piuttosto impegnativo perché c'è molta neve. Fattibile a livello fisico, ma tecnicamente più impegnativo. Molti degli escursionisti che abbiamo incontrato lungo il percorso sono tornati indietro o sono rimasti lì al rifugio. Noi abbiamo deciso di camminare almeno fino al rifugio Knorrhütte. Dopo quasi 20 chilometri e 8 ore, siamo arrivati al rifugio Knorrhütte felici e assetati. Dopo una cena deliziosa e qualche grappa (non si può evitare con gli amici polacchi 😜 ), ci siamo messi a letto nella nostra camera da 8 persone e abbiamo cercato di dormire.

    Drive from Innsbruck to Garmisch

    8. september 2024, Tyskland ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F

    We left Innsbruck after a nice breakfast. We drive 1.5 hour to Garmisch where Lea’s Dad was stationed in 1951. We had some luck identifying an Olympic building her had taken a pic of. We got confirmation from a local which part was the old part!! We could also see some of the Olympic park ski jump and luge from the stadium. We walked over to the Bahnhof (also her Dad had a pic of) and took a some pics and then got a coffee to help us continue our drive to Munich.Les mer
