We had a lovely time in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, home of the highest German peak...the Zugspitze. Unfortunately, we were unable to make the ascent due to unfavorable weather conditions. We did, however, make it to Neuschwanstein- the inspiration for Disneyland's "Cinderella Castle".

Here we are standing on a REALLY scary bridge...very high, narrow and rickety!!! That is the Disney Castle in the background.

This was the beautiful lake and mountain view from our hotel.

Despite the really WET weather, we had a very nice time exploring this region.
