Hiking in Germany

We were able to do some real hiking (not "Tram to the top" hiking) in and near Füssen, Germany.  We hiked up to where there was a view of Füssen and the river.  The air was fresh, the leaves were changing, and the temperature was cool.  It really was very enjoyable.  We carried a picnic lunch and stopped along the way to eat on some benches in a clearing.  Lunch turned in to a family photo shoot and we had a lot of fun.  I think someone else will post those photos.  I will try and link it up here.

We also got to see two castles.  To get to the 2nd one we walked up the road to get to the castle but coming down we went on a hike around behind the castle and followed a river down.  It was a fun little hike.

We really enjoyed our short stay in this part of Germany.  The hikes were fun and the area is beautiful.    There were biking and hiking trails enough to last for a long time.  Elaine thought that in another time and circumstance she could be happy living there.  I think I would agree.
