Above the trees in Bavaria


On Saturday, we planned to go to Regensberg, Germany, Saturday, but the distance and the very warm weather made us rethink that.  Why would we walk around a hot city when we could go to the Bavarian Forest National park  and The Tree Top Walk?  Our trip to Bavaris took us to some lovely scenic spots.  The Tree Top Walk was just that—a walkway that took us through a 1.3 kilometer walk that ended up at the top of the trees.  We discovered that the three main trees here are birch, fir, and spruce.  We were actually able to look down on the trees once we reached the top.  The weather was not as hot here, and there was an area for eating lunch and then having a drink afterward.  Pictures do not do justice, but here is one anyway.


We decided to return to Pilsen by way of Bodenmais, a well-know glass making town.  Go to http://www.bodenmais.de/en/ for pictures.  We visited one of the many glass shops and were struck by the number of various objects.  I was glad I had not brought any grandchildren into this place!  



There was a little train that took tourists around the town, so we caught that and saw the area.  It was exactly my storybook view of Bavarian villages.  



We then returned home to partake of a spaghetti carbonara and salad, again eating under the pergola.
