Europe day 22: Bavaria Ehrenberg-Munich

Saturday morning, we got up and checked out of our hotel.  We got onto the B179 to head back into Germany, but before we crossed the border, we stopped again at the Highline 179/Ehrenberg Castle parking lot.  I really wanted to see the castle ruins up on top.  Ben was my hero and carried me on his shoulders all the way up!! I'm not sure what other people thought of us, but I thought it was awesome.

After making our way back down, we kept driving down the highway toward Germany.

Such a beautiful place!
We stopped just outside of Füssen to check out the tree walk.
This ended up being pretty awesome.  It's a complex of bridges built at the tree-top level across a big chasm, Austria on one side, Germany on the other. Here's the website description: "You can experience the nature of the forest at close quarters across the 480 metres of the tree-top trail in the Ziegelwies Füssen Forest Centre, which opened in 2013. The trail runs at heights of up to 20 metres above the forest floor. The wooden construction, which is borne by just four supports, runs delicately past the tree tops. It gives you insights into the forest, as well as wonderful views of the mountains around the town of Füssen."

On the other side was a slide that went all the way down the mountainside.

Germany on one side, Austria the other!

Finally, it was time to leave Bavaria. :-(
Final glimpse of Neuschwanstein as we drove past.

It took us a couple of hours to get from Bavaria to Munich, stopping for Kebap along the way.
Our first stop in Munichw was the BMW museum!

The first part of it was basically a showroom for current models and a few classics.

Joseph's favorite car:

And Mosey's:

Brigham didn't have a favorite car.  He wanted to read.  :-)

The next part was more of a museum, with displays about the history of BMW and lots of different vehicles from different time periods to look at.

There were a few pretty cool art exhibits.  This one had metal ball bearings on fishline or something like that, which raised and lowered into various shapes.

This one is all the different BMW model plaques.

Brigham didn't want to see the museum.  He wanted to read.  :-)

We stayed the night in a Best Western out by the airport.

As it got dark, we drove back into Munich to find food.  The Aldis we were looking for in a shopping mall was closed, so we ended up going to a convenience store for Sunday food, and then stopped at Wienerwald-- a German/Austrian fastfood chain.  It wasn't great, which I guess is why it hasn't taken off in the US?
