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.

| View from our window. |
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!

| Bavarian Details |
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.
