Destination Berctesgaden

We ventured out from our hotel in Munchen today and headed south into mountain country, making us feel like we were in Tennessee.  Our first stop was Konigssee.  We then departed on a boat on a lake between the mountains.  On the way to St. Bartholomae the driver played a trumpet in echo valley.  The echo back of his trumpet off the mountains was very cool.  Once back from our boat ride we ventured to Salzbergwerk salt mine for a tour.  We all got to wear as authentic suits.  The kids enjoyed riding the slide rails down.  After the tour we headed up Rossfeldstrasse.  A twisty turning road to the top of a mountain.  The views were spectacular!!  The farmers in this area take their cows to the top of the mountains in the spring and leave them there until fall time.  The lead cow wears a large bell.  There were plenty of cows to be seen!  We stopped at a mountain top restaurant for dinner.  Nate and Lee had steak, sutt had schnitzel,  and I had spaetzle,  a cheese pasta.  After dinner we made the trek back to our hotel to hit the hay sack.
