We left the Rhine River and Castle Leibenstein behind us and struck out on the autobahn in search of a new adventure. The Bavarian Alps are our new destination.
In the south of Bavaria, Germany, from the Allgäu in the west to Upper Bavaria in the east, flanked by majestic, craggy giants and gentle Alpine foothills are some 300 or so lakes that glisten like deep blue sapphires in the sunshine.
After a 6 hour drive along the Rhine River to Lorch, with a ferry crossing across the Rhine, and then the autobahn to the foothills of the Alps, we arrived at our destination. A beautiful alpine cottage with a great view of the surrounding mountains. We are getting settled in and tomorrow, weather permitting, we shall ascend Mt. Zugspitz (by train of course). If not our alternate plan is to go to the Cinderella Castle. Larry and Pat have not then there. Time permitting, we will visit Oberomergau, home of the world famous passion play. So far we have been to Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and today, Austria.
