The Austrian Alps

We started in Munich and drive south towards Austria. Only about 45 minutes out of Munich, the mountains jutted up and the scenery was immediately alpine.

Here is the town of Garmish, Germany where they hold World Cup ski races each winter:

We crossed into Austria and each little town was charming. Tom and Lee told us  in Fiji that we HAD to go to the town of Lech while were in the Alps. They also told us where to stay in Lech. Tom and Lee, if you are reading this, THANK YOU!!!

Here is the town of Lech, nestled at the base of the hills:

Here is Cam in front of the Gasthof Post Hotel. What a place!

This is the view of one of the local peaks from the hotel window:

And here is a typical church steeple, with the orthodox cupola on top:

We would recommend Lech to anyone who loves charming little mountain towns!
