The whole yard is covered

You are pumping hard up Ganghoferstraße, when suddenly you think that you are having a hallucination, as there to your left are hundreds of trolls mocking your pathetic pace, your labored breathing, and your flushed face....Stop for a rest and a laugh....

Don't judge a book by it's cover

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the crowd of locals told me that this was the place to eat dinner. I wasn't wrong...A great place to sample authentic local cuisine served by charming locals.

Favorite Dish: Knödel with Saurkraut. Basically a stuffing dumpling. This one had great spices and had ham and bacon interspersed throughout. It was so good I kept eating even though I was full...

Warnings and Dangers  

Ehrwald Zugspitzbahn Not Running

A complete loss

The Zugspitzbahn in Ehrwald is still not working due to a fire that happened in February. It's no problem because you can drive or hike the 20km to Grainau and take either the cogwheel train or the cable car.

No word on when it will be working again.

From town, head up to the Almbahn, continue up for a fantastic workout and some beautiful scenery, there are small farms and grazing cows, streams, beautiful flowers and towering mountains along the way.

Be careful on the way down, the grade is 15% in some points...

Equipment: Mountain bike, helmet, water supply...
