In April I visited the German Alps (the Bavarian Alps I should say) for 3 days to do some hiking in the mountains and to see some historic towns.
Since this is an urban forum, I'll post pics of the small towns. Enjoy!
Small Church facing lake Constance
Driving through some small town along Lake Constance.
The Youth Hostel in Lindau, an ideal place to stay. Good Value!
Small creek flowing through town.
As dusk arrives, we're looking at Lake Constance (The other shore you can see is Austria!).
Welcome to Lindau!
Sorry this one is a bit dark. Note the weaponstore in the back (Waffenmutil)
the local Church.
Town square.
The church again, seen from the front.
This house is 500 years old.
More old houses.
That's it for Lindau, a Bavarian town on Lake Constance.
The next pics were taken in Oberstdorf, a skiing resort.
View of Oberstdorf from surrounding mountains.
When going to an indoor Beergarten that night, we were surprised by "Bern", a folk musician who sang well-known Schlager songs. Schlagers are kind of the German equivalent of redneck country music.
Looking at a small village from a viewpoint somewhere high up the mountains.
Not really urban, but still one of Europe's most famous landmarks. Castle Neuschwanstein.
Fussen, a town near the Castle.
the main street
Small fortress in the town center.
When driving on the road, you might pass some places that have pretty weird names, to an English-speaking person!
Hope you enjoyed!
