    Sölden to Munich

    July 13, 2016 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 11 °C

    Still raining and 14 degrees when we got up this morning...oh well I guess that's what Summer in Europe is like 😕

    We passed many beautiful waterfalls, especially after the heavy rain last night and the Fernsteinsee Schloss, where scuba diving was offered in the Fernsteinsee... Who'd have guessed? Maybe next trip we'll have to bring along the dive gear .... 😨

    We travelled along the Plansee in the hope of getting a glimpse of the Zugspitze, but the low cloud made this impossible.

    Painted buildings are in abundance in this area, especially in Oberammergau, which boasts many scenes from Fairy tales and Christian events.

    Our last stop for the day was at the Andechs Abbey. It is famed for its flamboyant Baroque church (1712) and its brewery. The Abbey is the oldest place of pilgrimage in Bavaria and has been in the possession of the Abbey of St Boniface in Munich since 1850. The church has the most beautiful interior and the alter and ceiling paintings are amazing to see.

    Despite the rain, another good day of driving and sightseeing.
