After a week and a half of non-stop shopping, building furniture, cleaning, laundry, and other boring things, we decided that we needed to spend the weekend before I started working doing something fun.
Saturday we kept it close to home and decided to explore Schloss Nymphenburg and the surrounding park. All I could think about was how much our dogs will enjoy walks in this park once they arrive (SATURDAY!!!!!).
Sunday we ventured out further (two trains, a bus, and a tram) to see the Walchensee in Upper Bavaria (which we learned, is actually south Bavaria.... Upper is the fact that it an upper elevation). Once we got off the bus, we took the tram – the Herzogstandbahn – up to the top of the mountains. Apparently this is a popular ski area, because everyone was skiing/snow-shoeing (but not snowboarding) around us – we were some of the only ones there to just walk around.
We walked along the mountain on a snow covered trail about 10 minutes where we found the Herzogstandhaus - aka the restaurant. Must be one of the cheapest restaurants in a ski area – only about €27 for both of us for lunch and a drink. After we realized we couldn’t walk around anywhere else (because they only shovelled the path to the restaurant, and there was probably 4 feet of snow), we headed down the mountain and walked along the Walchensee.
Here are some of our pictures from the weekend to make you want to visit us. And you can always click on a photo to enlarge it.
