Tuesday, 29 May 2018: Konigsee, Germany

While we were checking out of the hotel, we saw a little white stuffed bear named Ströbi, so we decided to buy him for Cora.  We plan to send pictures of him at all the different places we visit on our driving tour.

We drove south to Konigsee and the Berchtesgaden National Park, and as we went, the mountains grew bigger and bigger, and eventually we saw some with snow on top.

As we drive south, the mountains get bigger.

On the final leg of our drive to Konigsee, we followed the Windbach torrent, as it frothed green and white through the Windbachklamm gorge.

The Tourist Information Center at Berchtesgaden helped us find a hotel. On the way, we spotted a Bier Garden for lunch.

After we settled into our room, we went back to the National Park and walked to Königsee and had some ice cream. We ate dinner at a little crepe stand and then returned to the hotel for the night.
