Beautiful Berchtesgaden

---

Well as they had predicted, we woke up this morning to snow on the mountain tops and a good 25 degree drop in temperature….brrrr. We are so grateful that we had visited the Eagle’s Nest the day prior because it was indeed closed. Snow in the mountains meant rain down below and our streak of excellent weather has ended. It poured rain most of the morning with intermittent showers the rest of the day.

We spent the day driving and exploring the Berchtesgaden National park and stopped at a few very cute towns. The drive was picturesque with snow now capping the mountains and Matt forced me to do my Sound of Music twirl, which OK was fun, yet cold.

The highlight of the day was a short boat cruise up the Konigsee Lake. It was a beautiful mountain lake surrounded by walls of rock (reminded us of Henry Hudson drive in Jersey). They shut off the engines half way up the lake and a dude on the boat plays the trumpet so that you can hear the amazing echos it produces…that was pretty cool.

All and all a very leisurely day, filled with a bit of cold and rain. Matt had fun wandering around and exploring in the nearby forest around the hotel looking for more Nazi hideaways and hidden bunkers.
