As we continued our trek across Europe to visit our Austrian exchange student, we stayed a few days in beautiful Bavaria, in Southern Germany.
We spent a day at Legoland in Gunzburg.
We slid down the double banister at Berchtesgaden Saltmine tunnels, wearing the traditional leather aprons used by miners long ago.
Although the mountainous terrain was tricky on our travels, and one tunnel was closed, our roundabout journey across the mountains led us to a lovely restaurant in Garmische, which an equally lovely playground.
From our room in Fussen, we could actually see Neuschwanstein Castle from our window (see the spires to the lower left in the above photo.) The next day’s visit to the castle which inspired Cinderella’s was, in fact, magical.
We also found playgrounds each day in Bad Urach, Strasbourg and our favorite of the entire trip, was Aumeister Biergarten in Munich – the most fabulous family/neighborhood gathering place I think I’ve ever seen.
