Breathtaking

Published on Nov, 2024

Come have a Beer on the highest point in Bavaria. Beautiful view of the lake below near Garmisch and see across the top of the Alps. Truly a breathtaking view. Take the cable car up and then the mountain train down from the ski lifts. Nice in the spring but magnificent in the winter!
