königssee




so these are the final photos of our trip to the alps!

after a long day full of hiking it was the perfect ending just to sit on a bench, eating a late lunch and enjoying the most beautiful view. next time we'll go for a boat trip as well!

have a good week - i'm sure i'll do, 'cause i'm on vacation...

my sister and i left munich very early in the morning and arrived at the jenner ropeway at dawn. the air was chilly and so was the ride up on top of the mountain. but the view that was waiting for us was breathtaking and worth every inch of fear we had on the way up. after a short visit to the mountainpeak we hiked down into the valley through meadows full of wild growing herbs, through dark woods, over rocks and alongside a crystal clear mountain stream. on our way we had warm cake and rhubarb schorle at a chalet and met lots of friendly greeting people. after several hours we arrived back in schönau.
 
a short break and then we headed towards the königssee that is at the jenner's feet - i'll show you some more photos next time!

greetings,
susanne

 in the mountains
















last weekend i went hiking in the alps for the very first time! the days after my trip my whole body was aching and i could barley move - but it was worth it. i've never experienced anything like this feeling when you arrive on top of a mountain. the air was still cool, wind was blowing, the sky was steel-blue and the sun shone on my face. it's true what they are saying: you get really calm at the sight of so much beauty. there's this sense of freedom all around you and you experience yourself as small and vain but at the same time you become very much aware of the world and your place in it and all the possibilities that lie at your feet. i guess i should do this more often.

the other day a friend of mine and me drove to the starnberger see in the south of munich and walked from possenhofen to feldafing. it was so hot back then... it seemed like all munich had moved to the lake to get some sort of refreshment. every inch of the shore was packed with sunbathing people. at least the sight of the alps offered the illusion of some solitude.

for about a week the academy of arts in munich opened its doors to the public and each art class showed what it had been up to during the last year of studying. i saw some good, some confusing, some trivial and some really great pieces of work!
