Weilheim Things to Do

Going up the Zugspitze and looking out , seeing all this snow, really creates a white, romantic scenery. Then the wind comes up and brings you back to reality very quickly, but this does not mean that you cannot enjoy the landscape and beautifull view from the top.

When here you must go to the Zugspitz and take a look around. The view of the alps from here is awesome. There are also some nice "easy" walks here, where you can really enjoy nature and see the lovely mountain flowers.

We had lunch up on the mountain and it was really nice sitting there, looking into the distance and just daydream.

There is much to discover on a stroll through the old town of Weilheim. It is nice to look at all the Bavarian detailing like the carved doors, shutters, and fences and esp. the traditional wall paintings called luftlmalerei. There are not many homes here that is painted, but the one's that are, is like a little jewel. I also loved the well-kept window boxes bursting with geraniums.

True to nature of this part of the world, they do paintings on their buildings which is a wonderfull way to decorate the outside of your place. Herewith a lovely example of one of the buildings in weilheim

On a Saturday they have a market in this part of town selling various local crafts. It is rather well attended and the stuff on sale are really great.

Weilheim is another paradise for a hiker. Like so many other Germany town's it has awesome, well-marked trails. Buy yourself a hiking stick if you have any walking problems, they are a great asset.

If it was not for my friend, we would never have found this place. Not sure if it is still there, but this chinese restaurant below street level served a mean dinner

You will find the most devine pastries etc at this coffee shop and konditorei. I just loved popping in there daily to see what they have.
