birthday party in the mountains ~ hammersbach + grainau + GaPa

what a nice birthday party in the bavarian mountains! it was a birthday of our daughter, but you will not recognize our children at my pictures. they do not like to appear on the internet, so let's respect that 😄

hotel am badersee ~ hotel at lake badersee

we have stayed for 2 nights in the berghotel hammersbach, which is a nice wellness hotel at the entry into the höllentalklamm canyon. even if most people connect the villages grainau + obergrainau with zugspitze (2961 m), for us was hammersbach and obergrainau more in the sign of waxenstein (2277 m). we have seen also the lake riessersee + lake badersee + garmisch-partenkirchen (GaPa) ....

enjoy few pictures:

 our stay this time? the highly recommended hotel Sentido Zugspitze Berghotel Hammersbach ☎

 chapel kaplica (=chapel in POLISH)

walking to the höllentalklamm entry. the canyon itself  is closed in winter time

best jump ever 😂

obergrainau

lake rosensee

the lake badersee is in the untergrainau part of grainau

there are really many fishes in the lake badersee, thus i do assume they are fed by te hotel personnel or some local fishery club

it was so cold to swim => crazy me 😝. 

there was probably some issue with an attention deficit in my childhood, wasn't there?

hell valley canyon (höllentalklamm) + badersee, grainau, zugspitze

... just spent 2 days at beautiful lake badersee in grainau, the zugspitze village in bavaria  ...

the highlight of our company workshop? walking through the höllentalklamm canyon :-)

höllentalklamm  (= hell valley canyon) with the hammersbach river

the lake badersee is soooo cold, one colleague + me have been in ... only 13 or 14 degree celsius in summer ... thanks goodness they have a hot sauna in the 'hotel am badersee' to warm up a little bit.
