Ja, es geht weiter und ab dieser Woche ist Dienstbeginn 7.30 Uhr. Ahhh, das ist ja sooo früh! Ein Glück ist Friedericke morgens genauso drauf wie ich, da bekommen wir uns dann wenigstens nicht in die Haare. Montags ging es damit los, dass wir eine Führung am Königssee mit einer fünften Klasse hatten. Klausi hat diese Führung übernommen und Heike, Friedericke und ich sollten uns das mal angucken, damit wir dann am Donnerstag die Führung mit vorbereiten konnten. Wir sind dann etwas früher los, um noch zur Eiskapelle zu wandern, wo wir dann auch Mittagspause gemacht haben. Lustige Geschichte mit der Eiskapelle. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein Schneefeld, das von darüber liegenden Schneefeldern gespeist wird und logischerweise vom Wasser unterspült ist, dadurch bildet sich eine Art Kuppel (das kann man auf den Bildern aus ... read more

So, hallöchen! Wie bereits erwähnt hatten wir also in der zweiten Woche ein Einführungsseminar im Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald. Dienstags gings also schon in aller Herrgottsfrühe aus dem Haus, da der Bus schon um halb sieben gefahren ist und der Zug dann um 7.10 Uhr. Wir haben den Zug genommen, da wir die Zugkosten erstattet bekommen und wenn wir mit dem Auto gefahren wären, hätten wir nur eine Fahrtkostenzuschuss erhalten. Ich persönlich wäre ja im Endeffekt doch lieber mit dem Auto gefahren, dann hätten wir uns einiges ersparen können. Unfassbar das man für eine Strecke von 200 km unschlagbare 6 ½ Stunden mit dem Zug braucht und das, weil man uns, aus welchem Grund auch immer, über München und Regensburg hat fahren lassen, um nach Spiegelau zu kommen. Außerdem mussten wir insgesamt 5-mal umsteigen und haben ... read more

Sodele, die Odyssee geht weiter, aber nun im Berchtesgadener Land. Da ich noch nicht genau weiß, ob ich den einen vom anderen Blog trennen kann, schließt sich dieser also erstmal an den alten an! Hauptsache ihr bekommt Infos und Bilder! ;0) Ok, einige Wissens andere vielleicht nicht: Ich bin aus Norwegen zurück und mache mein Praxissemester im Nationalpark Berchtesgaden in der Umweltbildung. Dies läuft über ein Programm, dass sich Praktikum für die Umwlet nennt und von der Commerzbank finanziell unterstützt wird. Find ich ziemlich cool! Ok, dann kann ich ja mal loslegen. Leider ist ja jetzt schon ein Monat vergangen, aber ich versuche nochmal alles zusammen zu bekommen. Am 31.03.07 gings also gegen 10 Uhr mit meinem Autochen ab in Richtung Berchtesgaden, oder besser gesagt in die Ramsau, da bin ich nämlich untergebracht. Trotz der ... read more

Berchtesgaden and the Salt Mines Today we awoke with a plan in mind. The plan was to head to Berchtesgaden to see one of the salt mines and possibly see Hitler’s Eagles Nest. Shower Struggles As I’ve told you in previous blogs, it’s always a crap shoot when it comes to bathroom facilities in Europe. We’ve been lucky since we left Spain and have always had good running water and stand up, glassed in showers. Because of the fact that all has been hunky-dory since Spain I haven’t commented on this often. Well, here we do have good, hot running water, but we have a stand up shower in a bathtub with no shower curtain. Why you would have a standup shower in a small bathroom without a shower curtain, I don’t know!! As I ... read more

Aumbach, It's not really one of those tourist hotspots, In fact, I would doubt that while Horse and I were there that there were any outsiders of Aumbach at all. It's not really that suprising but my Oma did tell me that a family in the Village actually did rent out rooms and at quite a good rate of 15euros a night, no doubt for that "authentic Bavarian Experience". I highly reccomend it to anyone but aslong as you have your own car or a motorbike or a rad little Vespa moped thingy so you can escape before your sanity escapes you. I think my Oma, herself could have made a fortune renting out the spare room of her house with meals and beer included of course. 50euros a night would have been sufficient for an ... read more

The only reason I know I am in Germany is by my carrier sending a message to my phone saying welcome to Germany, other than that there is no check point, no boarder control, no passport or customs. Not even a damn sign saying "Willkommen nach Deutschland " The train rolls forward at an excruciatingly slow pace. We have made our way into the Bavarian Alps and they tower over me with stunning granduer. After an hour travel from Salzburg, we arrive at Berchtesgaden. I had one mission here in Berchtesgaden, to see Hitler's Eagle Nest. When I approach the information desk to find how I am going to get up there, I am met with horrible news. It appears a recent rock fall has closed off the steep, windy road and there is now way ... read more

We were showered and ready for breakfast by 8:30. Sissy made us another great feast. We gulped down three pots of hot chocolate knowing it was going to be another cold day. It was snowing rather steadily but not enough to concern us. We get a great deal of snow up in Northeast PA so we are used to it. I was just a little worried about how my supposed non-snow tires would perform. Sissy made a big deal about us signing her guestbook so Gail made a big deal about having Sissy and Klaus pose in their Bavarian finery. We paid our bill for the two nights, 300€ total, or 25€ per person per night. Well worth it in my opinion. We bid our goodbyes to Sissy and Klaus with assurances of e-mailing them some ... read more

With a comfortable night’s rest and nice hot showers we assembled in the breakfast room at 8:30 just as we told Sissy the night before. We requested hot chocolate and got two very warm pots full. We were given two baskets full of bread and those wonderful hard rolls. Cassie, Gail and her Mom were satisfied with the jellies and honey. Tyler, Gen and I fought over the meat and cheese platter. Every other day Sissy’s chickens must lay eggs and Christmas Day we were given soft-boiled eggs. We wasted little time in re-piling into the VW and hoped to find something to do on a Sunday Christmas Day. Sissy and Klaus had told us that Christmas Eve (Heilige Abend) was actually a bigger holiday for the Bavarians so we had hopes of finding something to ... read more

Week 1 of a two weeker around the German and Austrian Alps, staying in Munich and Bad Feilnbach at Schuller's Place and visiting Schloss Herren Chiemsee, Munich, Berchtesgaden and Bad Feilnbach. If you ever get the chance to drive the jaw-dropping deutsche Alpenstraße between Lindau am Bodensee, don't think twice. One of the best drives EVER!! http://www.deutsche-alpenstrasse.de/ ... read more

Day 28 Monday July 28 I sipped my coffee, grabbed a knife and spread a healthy pad of creamy butter onto a piece of freshly baked bread. The table was neatly set. Nothing special. Nice. The coffee was strong. Just as I like it. Mid-sip, I gazed up at our hosts’ doddling about the kitchen. The retired couple appeared to be in their early 60s. They were quite reserved, conservative people. The pictures in the buffet include those of young children whom I presume to be their kids. The year is 1995 thus simple math would place them as mere toddlers back when the city earned its’ historical prominence. While I presume these kind folks were still slobbering on themselves in 1940 their parents would not have been so innocent. Berchtesgaden was a Nazi Town. The ... read more
