zugspitze, DE-BY, 2963m

there were plus 27°C in munich this early april and we have decided to feel the real winter at the snowy zugspitze (2963m, somewhere ele 2962m), instead. just to close my above average skiing season accordingly, you know? btw, you still remember my sellaronda & plose experience in soouth tirol earlier this year? ☃

i've been skiing at zugspitze in early february, too. thus there will be few older pictures as well. will you call the difference? 😄

view from the zugspitze to the south. it is still in bavaria, but the

distant mountains on the right side behind are already in tirol (austria).

the church of grainau => left to right: alpspitze, waxenstein, zugspitze.

waxenstein is in the front, so this massif looks even bigger than its

two much higher fellows. lets call it the wonder of perspective 😇

up there today

zugspitze, a year ago, april 30th, 2023.

hof, bavaria, BY

our lunch break on the way back home from poland in the city of hof was really disappointing for me. why? well, i thought, a bavarian city at the saale river, which is so close to both, the border of thuringia and the border of bohemia must be s.th. really special. maybe like a combined castle-fortress-town-walls-bunker or the like. it wasnt. it was just a normal province city with quite interesting town hall building and few small old houses in the city center. and it was cold & raining, so nobody likes to explore a city on a day like that, you see? at least the indian food in a restaurant directly at the town hall was fine 😉

well, we havent seen hof's two recreation areas: the park theresienstein (picture below), the lake untreusee and the saale river ...

enjoy few pictures from hof (saale), bayern, anyway:

town hall (rathaus)

evangelic church

indian restaurant

would you like to explore a city on a day like that?

town hall (rathaus) again ...
