    Ostern in Oberbayern

    April 23, 2020 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Ostern in BadTölz. 🐣
    In Jakarta hat die Schule coronabedingt mittlerweile schon einen Monat geschlossen. Wir sind nach Deutschland gereist und irgendwie ist die Welt dort noch in Ordnung, obwohl sich alles wegen 🦠 verändern wird....
    Nach Ostern findet Unterricht online statt und wegen der Zeitverschiebung beginnen die Meetings mitten in der Nacht 😴 Eine anstrengende Zeit beginnt.... Wie es weitergehen wird steht jetzt noch in den Sternen. Wir machen das Beste daraus und die Laune bleibt trotz aller Umstände erhalten....

    Forggensee Lake, Fussen

    June 16, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    After trying out his school boy German on the bus driver to make sure they were on the right bus, they get off at the Lake. It's a very popular place with lots of locals having picnics by the shore, there was even a group of people there for a baptism in the water. I wouldn't want to be dunked in that it wasn't the cleanest of lakes. There's a good view of the castle from here. By now the sun is really hot so they sit like old folk do taking in the surroundings and watching the paragliding over the mountains in the distance. A short walk back to sit in the sun and relax, it may be a car park but when the sun shines who cares ❤Read more

    Sunday Stroll Around Fussen

    June 16, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Sunday morning and it's sunnier than we expected after overnight rain but the clouds are still hanging over the mountains. Theym going to attempt to walk into the town, it's only about a mile. Started out and was beginning to think they would have to turn back when her knee started to protest. They should have got the bikes out as the cycle path is flat and goes straight into town. Anyhow it became easier and they med it to the town. There's not many people about and most of the shops are closed. The buildings are very pretty and many have paintings decorating them. They walk over the bridge by the Museum, the river is a really strange colour, almost white. There's a few cafés open so they stop for a German beer, well you know them, before heading for the bus station for a free bus ride to the lake.Read more

    More from Tegernsee

    September 15, 2019 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    There was so much to see and photograph, including Anna (Anke’s daughter), who had to endure a second day of hearing us speak English. It was particularly difficult for her, as she is just learning English at school, and our accents, combined with speaking too fast, made it difficult for her. We involved her in the conversation by asking her to teach us the German word for things, e.g. we now know a lake is ‘see’,a mountain is ‘berg’, a child is ‘kinder’, a tree is ‘baum’, the sun is ‘sonne’ and the stars are ‘sterne’.

    We had lunch at a lovely restaurant called Alta on the shores of the lake before heading back to Munich.

    A Big Day Out in Bavaria

    September 15, 2019 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Today we had a slightly later start to the day. We have been very fortunate with the weather in Munich, and today is no exception - blue skies and sunshine with temperatures in the mid 20’s.

    Our first destination was Tegernsee, a picturesque Bavarian town situated on lake Tegernsee, about 55 kilometres from Munich. Again, as it was a sunny day, everyone was heading either to the mountains to hike or the lake to relax (eat and drink beer) or sail. The Germans love to hike through the mountains. On the trip south we passed numerous small villages, such as Waakirchen and Gmund to name a few. We also encountered a lot of traffic on the autobahn, and so the speed was restricted to between 80 and 120kms, which the Germans do not like. Yesterday, at times my cousin was driving at speeds of 140 to 160kms per hour and, even then, other cars were flying past us - they must have been going at least 200kms per hour! Way too fast for my liking.

    Tegernsee is situated on a lake, and so we went for a bit of a walk along the shoreline, where we encountered people sun baking, swimming in the chilly lake and fishing, and even saw people having scuba diving lessons. We then wandered around some of the streets, to check out the architectural styles of the housing.

    On our return to the lake, we went past the local brewery, church and many restaurants. We stopped at Alta, a lovely restaurant on the lake, to have a typical Bavarian lunch of bread with a range of spreads (like dips). We had tuna, artichokes and sun dried tomatoes, chicken and curry, smoked salmon and dill, mustard and honey, apricot and rosemary and a local cheese which are all mashed up with cream cheese - very nice.

    After lunch we drove around the lake, and then headed back to Munich. I am glad we got to Tegernsee early, as the traffic heading towards the area as we were leaving was overwhelming, with traffic jams that went for over a kilometre.

    Once we returned to Munich we headed to the English Gardens. See the next instalment about this green space in Munich.

    Holzkirchen

    May 27, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    It's delightful that this blog's tiny fanclub is already complaining at the omission of a report from yesterday. We got here! The rain is now settling in with some serious intent. Found a spiffing Greek restaurant which furnished us with a light repast - enough for Nick to have booked it for tonight's gathering of the clans.
    Weather outlook: dreary. Are we downhearted? Better ask Nick 🙂

    Jochberg

    May 5, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Wir waren heute auf dem Jochberg, einem Berg in den bayerischen Alpen, der einen spektakulären Blick auf den Kochelsee und den Walchensee bietet.

    Der Aufstieg durch die dichten Wälder und über die Almwiesen war eine herausfordernde, aber lohnende Wanderung, die uns mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht auf die umliegenden Gipfel belohnte.

    Richtig schöne Wanderung 😀

    Übernachten in Benediktbeuren

    October 12, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Ein Platz zum Übernachten mit V/E, Strom und dem Charme eines alten, abgewrackten Tennishartplatzes. Ruhig, abgelegen, gut für eine Hubderunde, keine Möglichkeit zum Essengehen oder Frühstücksbrezel kaufen.Read more

    Historisch: Alltag der Bäuerinnen

    October 12, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Im Freilichtmuseum Glentleiten gibt es immer wieder wechselnde Sonderausstellungen. Eine ist in diesem Jahr „Bäuerinnen als Unternehmerinnen“ mit Frauen aus der Gegenwart.
    Einzelne Holzstelen vor manchen Gebäuden weisen hin auf die historischen, verschiedenen Rollen und Aufgaben der Frauen in der Landwirtschaft.Read more

    Ein Tag im Freilichtmuseum

    October 12, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Wir haben eine ruhige Nacht verbracht. Die Museumsmitarbeiter holten zwar ihr schweres Gerät um 7.00 Uhr aus der Halle, aber wir hatten kein Problem damit, weiterzuschlafen.
    Gegen 10.00 Uhr sind wir dann doch mal aufgestanden und nach dem Morgenkaffee um 11.00 Uhr ging es los.
    Das Freilichtmuseum stellt auf einem sehr großen, weitläufigen Gelände fast 70 Gebäude mit ihrer Einrichtung aus. Auch diverse Tiere konnten wir zwischendurch begrüßen. 2 Brotzeitmöglichkeiten gibt es. Im Biergarten am Salettl haben wir uns eine sehr leckere rote Schorle gegönnt.
    Die Wege gehen rauf und runter, manchmal recht steil, über Stock und Stein und auch mal durch eine Klamm.
    Um 16.30 haben wir das Gelände mit platten Füßen wieder verlassen.
    Es war ein toller Tag!!!!
