Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Say that 5 times fast....
so we'll just call it GaPa for short
like they do in Germany.
 |
| All is quiet at 7:30 am. |
GaPa is the location we chose as our base for exploring southern Bavaria.
I am sooo glad we chose to stay on Ludwigstrasse in Partenkirchen.
It is so quaint and easily walkable.
The outer parts of the town reminded me more of a suburban town back home.
Ludwigstrasse is a little sleepy - since everything shuts down in the evenings except the restaurants.
We stayed at Gasthaus Fraundorfer,
which was the happening place.
They offer live music in the evenings and keep a packed house in their restaurant.

| Love the shop signs in the German villages. |
The place is rustic and I can easily see this a skier's hotel in winter.
In summer, the area tends toward cloudiness and rain
due to its proximity to the Alps.
I guess you can't have it all.

During our 4 nights there in August
we were freezing!
We were not prepared for the cold, damp temps in August.
That is something not in the guide books!

I can tell you that after visiting these German villages,
setting up my little German Village at Christmas time
will take on a whole new meaning.

maybe the reason the make the buildings so beautiful is to make up for the days of rain and no sun. it really is a gorgeous place... at 7:30 am here the traffic is killer, in fact there is never a time the traffic is no flowing. this looks so peaceful.
Wow!! I love the architecture!!
Lovely. Reminds me of Oberammergau... Visited there back in 1990 to see the Passion Play they set up once every 10 years.
Fabulous sights and thank you for sharing them with us.
Like stepping into a Fairy Tale world. Your pictures are amazing!
