selenakI had a fantastic, if extremely exhausting day, and the Pentecost weather was glorious. A little appetizer before I employ the cut:
I started climbing one of the local mountains at Tegernsee. This place, with the former holiday residence of the Bavarian residence:
There are several ways to to climb the Neureuth. Since it was a very hot day, I picked the one through the woods. This was, err, tricky, because:
But eh, who cares. The view was totally worth it.
This town there is Rottach-Egern. Where the superrich go when they want to visit the Alps and shop at the same time:
And the entire panorama once more:
If you've successfully mastered the Neureuth, it's time to wander to the Gindel Alm, because there you are rewarded with this view in the direction of the Schliersee:
And when you walk a bit higher, to the summit, say, you get this Schliersee view:
From the Gipfelkreuz - the crucifix which it's custom over here to plant on the highest point of hte mountain:
Moving on to the Kreuzberg and the Kreuzberg-Alm:
Where there are some extremely unimpressed cows:
And down to Tegernsee again. Where there is a 997 years old monastery converted to a hotel which is celebrating its founding day at pentecost, which is why it's organizing a medieval market. (Or, as I learned to call it in the US, a Renfaire.)
The absolute highlight was the falconery presentation for the kids. Starting with an actual falcon:
Moving on to a Merlin:
Then it was time for a buzzard:
And finally, a sea eagle. Who thought it was too hot to fly, so he walked instead.
The rest of the faire wasn't half bad, either. I mean:
In conclusion: 'twas a most wonderful day!
