Day 14
Mittenwald Old Town, Germany
April 7, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
After lunch and with a small window of clear skies, we drove into town for a wander around the pretty streets. Chartered in 1307, Mittenwald was an important trading centre in the 15th and 16th centuries. The village has been famous since the 17th century for the manufacture of violins, violas and cellos, and it is believed the personal violin of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was crafted in Mittenwald.

It is also known for its colorful painted houses adorned with Lüftlmalerei, a mural art unique to southern Germany and Austria. Alongside the cobbled stone lanes and the gorgeous mountains as the backdrop, these artsy houses are striking and it feels like we are in a storybook.

On the main street of Mittenwald Old Town (Obermarkt) are most of the Lüftlmalerei, some dating back 250 years ago. Commonly, the images portrayed in the murals are the favorite saints of the house owner, their profession, and their daily lives in Mittenwald back in the day. They are so colourful, detailed and interesting and it was hard to control myself with my camera.Read more

Day 14
St. Peter and St. Paul Mittenwald
April 7, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
The tower of the 14th century church of St. Peter and St. Paul can be seen from every street in town. While the church isn’t as detailed as many we have seen, it is one of the more unique churches we have visited, with its colorful frescoes and Lüftlmalerei, which did give the illusion that the design was three dimensional. As we do, we decided to check out the interior of the church, not realising that the towns Easter service was about to start. Oops. We waited until the choir boys and priests had entered before we snuck out. While we didn’t get to take our usual photos inside, we did get to experience part of a German church service.

After a lovely stroll around town and despite the temperature not getting over four degrees, we decided we had to try a German gelato… and I have to say it rivalled some of the best from Italy. Although sitting in the car with the heater on was a change to our Italian experiences. It was a great way to end a great day. We opted for a night in as the snow started to fall again.Read more

Day 13
Mittenwald, Germany
April 6, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
Our home for the next couple of days is Mittenwald, a relatively small town amid the Alpine peaks of Bavaria, Germany. With the majestic mountains as a backdrop no matter which way we looked, we were excited to see more of this town. As we arrived early evening and with snow and rain forecast for our stay here, and it being Easter weekend, we stopped by a grocery store to stock up so we could cook for our next few days and nights. Unlike other towns we aren’t in walking distance to the main streets and restaurants and cafes, and driving when it snows was not appealing, so we made sure we were prepared just in case.

The view from our apartment overlooked the town with the huge snow covered mountains looming in the background. It was breathtaking and we spent a lot of time admiring the view at different times of day and night and in the varying weather conditions, including snow! Amazing.Read more

Day 14
Hotel Gröbl-Alm, Mittenwald
April 7, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
This morning we woke to snow, as in it was really snowing, something we haven’t experienced before. It was such a great experience for us Queenslanders. We were quite happy just relaxing for the morning before heading out for lunch up the road. Thankfully the snow had stopped by the time of our booking. We had lunch at the nearby Hotel Gröbl-Alm, a family owned traditional German restaurant. Our table had spectacular views of the snow covered Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains.

We both had meals typical for the local area with Brad having a wild caught river trout and I had a Bavarian version of spinach ravioli. Both meals were delicious and filling. We were hoping to have dessert but were too full so decided we would return the next afternoon for afternoon tea.

This restaurant was so worth the visit, from its charming Easter themed decor, it’s magnificent location and views to the very delicious meals. It was a fabulous experience.Read more

Day 15
Our last day in Mittenwald, Germany
April 8, 2023 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 3 °C
Our last day in Mittenwald was a very relaxing one, which was what I needed as I was not feeling the best. With the snow settling in for the rest of our time here it was easy to have a day in, catching up on some tv shows and just relaxing. We did venture out once more for a traditional afternoon tea back to Hotel Gröbl-Alm.

For afternoon tea we both had Windbeutel aus Bayern erdbeeren, which translates to “cream puffs from Bavaria with strawberries”. They are a light choux pastry filled with ice cream, whipped cream and strawberries. Thankfully they were light as they were massive. We washed these down with a latte macchiato and a hot schokolade (hot chocolate). I couldn’t finish mine but thankfully Brad did the gentlemanly thing and finished mine as well.

It was a nice outing for our last day in Mittenwald. While it would have been nice to explore some of the walks, staying in our warm apartment watching the snow fall was very relaxing.Read more

Day 3
Outlet, Kletterwald und Tennsee
April 8, 2023 in Germany
Heute ist das Wetter etwas ungemütlich. Wir starten in Füssen im Outlet. Leider werden wir nicht fündig, dafür äußert Sidney den Wunsch zu klettern. Also fahren wir Richtung Kletterwald Garmisch. Das Wetter wird leider immer schlechter, trotzdem lässt Sidney sich nicht überreden, klettern auf morgen zu verschieben… Der Park ist wirklich schön, leider sind unsere Finger durch Schnee und Wind schnell durchgefroren und wir müssen nach einer Stunde bereits abbrechen… Wir fahren noch durch den Isarwinkel und schließlich mit einigen Umwegen auf den Campingplatz am Tennsee. Nachdem der Osterhase und bereist heute besucht hat lassen wir den Abend recht feucht fröhlich mit Steffi und Andreas ausklingen…Read more

Day 8
Tennsee
February 25, 2022 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 1 °C
Heute Nacht hat es erneut geschneit. Wir fahren wieder nach Garmisch auf die Piste, leider sieht man kaum die Hand vor den Augen so neblig ist es. So richtig viel Lust haben wir heute nicht, daher brechen wir gegen Mittag ab und fahren nach Vorderriß, um uns „klein Kanada“ anzusehen. Sehr beeindruckend. Am Nachmittag checken wir im Alpen-Caravanpark Tennsee ein, laufen noch eine kleine Runde, und zum Abendessen gibts 2 halbe HähnchenRead more

Schade, aber morgen geht's weiter. Eigentlich, bei schönerem Wetter, wäre der Platz mit dem tollen Umfeld der Knaller gewesen, doch der Regen...
Na ja, der geht in 2 Tagen vorüber und dann gibt's noch fast eine Woche Sonne satt...
