Zugspitze - Mountain Holidays

What a view out of our hotel room for 5 nights - Germanys highest mountain "Zugspitze" seen from the Austrian side - we enjoyed the area with plenty of Mountain Sports (Biking, Hiking, Swimming, Trail running, Roller Skiing, a bit of Boating and Golfing) in perfect weather- as well as delicious food and good traditional dresses ;-)

This elk somehow got lost in the meadow - he was as surprised as we were!!!

Switzerland weekend with the Detroit Gang

This year the summer reunion of our friends happened in Switzerland. The weather was a bit wet - but who cares! We had lots of fun hiking, discover Heidiland, celebrate soccer - thanks for organizing dear Ottenbachers - looking already forward to the next trip! (see more pics of the kids on Ronja's blog)

Switzerland - Walensee

Our opening to a wonderful weekend in Switzerland was a stop for sunbathing and some braveheart swimming in Lake Walensee (water temp. 13C/56F) - one of the most beautiful lakes in the alps!
