A tree with a mountain in the background
 
This weekend, the fiance and I are climbing the Benediktenwand,
the mountain wall that my village is named after.
Although it is only 1801m high,
it will take approximately 8-10 hours to complete the 26km.
 
As long as we don’t over-sleep
(I can’t make any promises)
I will have some great panoramic shots for you all next week!
 
Either way, I need to get this tush of mine moving.
German food kills me-
it’s that good.
sauerkraut, red cabbage, cheese, and pretzel.
I’ve died and gone to heaven.

Mountain
 
This is one reason why I love Bavaria so much.
right in my back yard,
(literally)
sits this beautiful rock waiting to be climbed.

    I want to be on top of that mountain. The Alps are incredible. That's really all I can say about them. A.maz.ing. Have an awesome time!

  4. Svenja says:

    Wow, lovely pictures!! Great that you plan to climb — I personally have never done that before, and 1800 m seem quite some way, so – beers and Bretzels well deserved after 🙂

    Sauerkraut ? Uhhh, my personal culinary nightmare 😉

    Have lots of fun!
    Regards from the flat lands up north,
