Berchtesgaden is Germany’s only Alpine National Park.We wandered along the shores of Lake Königssee.A perfect day to enjoy the calm waters and watch the boats cruise by.They played the bugle to hear the echos off the walls – that was the only interruption to the solitude.A great place to take a break and soak your feet.There was always the luge option…Or the BBQ option back at the apartment! We are enjoying all of the amenities 😉
Our first view of the Alps! We flew into Munich and drove a few hours south to Anger, Germany.Our first home – Staufen-Chalet Hochreit. We have the deluxe one bedroom apartment with a personal infrared sauna.The view from our window at sunrise.The view as we leave in the morning, looking towards the south.Who wouldn’t want this scenery on your commute?Almbach Gorge is nearby and our first day calls for a leisurely 7-kilometer hike with a 1,000 foot climb.Water is a beautiful color. The trail is fun with lots of bridges and catwalks.At bridge #19 is the high Sulzer waterfall and where we took a trail up, above the canyon.We climbed the trail to the Mesnerwirt Chapel, near Ettenberg, and ate our picnic lunch enjoying the view!
