This is where Niels went to college!! College is for the 1st degree, whichis diff than U.S. So Niels, this if for you. It was a lovely drive into the mountains. It's a ski area. Niels, you didn' t tell me you could ski!! One of the buildings is the dorm where the students stay. They come home on weekends. It's like a boarding school for middle school or high school students.
Niels, I saw the big mountain that your fitness prof used to make you all climb every Monday morning. No wonder you have grande musculation! It was good for you, no?
A lot of school kids were outside and heard us talking English. They said, "Allo!" and giggled. When I said, "Hi! How are you?" they burst into laughter and said, "Fine thank you" in their very best English. We exchanged for a bit and they made me laugh as hard as they were. They were happy to pose for a photo.
We also drove to a nearby village where there were some prehistoric markings and alters. I think we were at about 3000 ft alt. I saw the grot (cave) where Hitler used to fly his planes in. That was closed, but you could see where they flew into the cave. Strange. A lot of WW 2 history here. Monuments etc. For instance I saw a church where Jewish children were hidden. This day was in the mountains though to check out where Niels spent 4 years studying.

Castle ruins
This was a pretty valley and in the center was this little mountain with ruins on top. Nobles had 2nd hommes here.
