If there’s any silver lining to that story.-At least he didn’t throw up on the tour jacket,which looks great on your wife.

Well the upside is, this is the view when I step outside.

And that it is cold enough in the alps to wear an UHF this evening.

Right now even a UHF + Tour Jacket.

First day in Pfronten. We went for our first hike on the Breitenberg. For the first part we used the lift.

Next stop was the lookout point.

From there we hiked up to the Ostler Hütte at 1838 Meters altitude.

After a good "Brotzeiten"

We went down again over a different track.

And now some random pictures of the beautiful Alps.

Wow! That distant switchbacking path in the fourth 'random alps' pic looks like one of the greatest hiking segments ever! That would be an absolute blast to ascend.

I was told that this one is for experienced hikers only and I absolutely believe that. I would probably die of exhaustion half way up, if I would make it that far at all.

Yeah, it looks pretty extreme… especially for descending the same way!  Still... hiking's always more fun with a slight pucker factor

I’d have to have a cheeky go at a yodel if that was me!  :o

Great pics….

Today we visited the Breitach Klamm. A truely magnificent sight. The pictures don‘t do it justice.

The kids decided to have a fight at 6:15 this morning, so we grown ups decided that, if we are up anyways, we can visit Schloss Neuschwanstein before the tourist madness starts.

Turned out, that even at 8:00 it is allready madness.

Nice sight on the way to the castle.

Up there it was even more tourist madness.

We didn‘t bother to go to the Marien bridge to get the Disney view at the castle after we finished our tour through it, because by 11:45 it looked like 20k people where on their way to the bridge.

A view from one of the balconies.

Amazing…

Waiting for the wife and kids to get ready to go bow shooting on some kind of special parkour. A little change from hiking and sightseeing every day.

Turned out that my wife is a natural born Katniss Everdeen, while I‘m a total waste of arrows.

After bow shooting we made a steep ascent to the Hundlskopfhütte we had some Kaiserschmarren and a thoughtful stare over the valley.

This looks like a brilliant holiday. This jacket has seen some stuff…

[GBurke]

Amazing how well that jacket is holding up!

[Jett129]

That jacket has looked great on everyone,this tour has been absolutely fantastic. That jacket had been my fall back in case the corduroy jacket didn't work out.

[Cole]

Another one from the way back down.
