The Bavarian Alps

After Neuschwanstein, we winded through the Alps, passing through Austria and back to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, a gorgeous little town at the base of Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain at 2962 metres.

From G-P, we took the Eibsee cable car to the summit where we were blessed with some breaks in the clouds when we could see for miles across the Alps in all directions. The kids rented a couple of sleds, and the adults chilled out with a beverage or two and felt so lucky to be right there.

Later in the day, we all took the cogwheel train through and down the mountain. Then we hiked up the precarious path hugging the sides of the Partnach Gorge. The sheer walls of the gorge and turquoise green glacial water were stunning, but it was the construction of the tunnels and pathway that really amazed me.
