When we woke up today we saw many clouds out there and the weather forecast said that it will rain later in the day. So we decided to do only a short hike. We started in Oberstdorf and went in the direction of Gerstruben. Gerstruben is the highest village of Germany at 1155m. We chose the way via the Hölltobel and where amazed by the amounts of water coming down there!
On the way back to Oberstdorf we walked through a forest and along the way stopped for a cake and coffee. Fortunately no rain came 🙂

Today we took the bus to Birgsau and from there starting walking in the direction of the Krumbacher Höhenweg via Guggensee. We followed the Krumbacher Höhenweg almost until we reached the Fellhorn cablecar and then walked back to Oberstdorf. Even if it was still warm and sunny you can feel that winter is about to come!

What an amazing autumn day! On top of the mountains we can already see the first snow this winter. We started in Oberstdorf and walked to Gerstruben. From there we followed the way to the Dietersbachalpe. Many people still enjoyed food and drinks there in the sunshine. We continued upwards to the Älpelesattel which was already partly covered by snow. We were completely alone on our way. On top we had a long break and lay in the sunshine. Then we walked down to the Käseralpe and from there to the Oytalhaus. There we got some scooters which took us fast back to Oberstdorf!

Published on Leave a comment on Best crepes ever in Lyon

When travelling from the Mediterranean Sea back to the Alps it is a good idea to stop in Lyon. From Marseille we took the TGV to Lyon. It was the first time on the TGV for us and it is really fast!

The first impression of Lyon was that it is also very noisy. We were not able to find a nice place to sit down and enjoy a coffee. Nevertheless after some walking around we were able to fine the old town. There were some really small street with nice restaurants and bars. We enjoyed a delicious crepes and ice cream there.

There is also a nice place to go up and have a great view above the city - the view is worth going up there during the day and night. Close to the top of the hill is also a theater which reminded us of Rome.

During the night all famous buildings were nicely lighted up and there were many people out in the old town so that it was not so easy to find a place to eat. In the end we ended up with a salad and crepes which was fine 😀

When we finished our hiking tour in Menton we decided to spend one day in Nice as it is a very popular city. Nice was very hot, noisy and full of people! We walked around and found one really nice place - close to the beach you can go up some stairs to a park from where you have a great view of the city and the beach! Nevertheless we were quite happy to leave Nice the next morning to continue our journey back to the Alps with a stopover in Lyon.
