Germany - Mittenwald 🇩🇪
We are in Germany!! Our journey via KLM airlines from Edinburgh to Munich, with a short layover in Amsterdam, was easy and uneventful. We picked up our rental car at the airport and headed towards Mittenwald. We stopped for lunch and a “small” beer in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a cute town along the way.

Mittenwald
Mittenwald, Germany was a beautiful and quaint little town and also active with people and things to do in the area.
Many of the buildings in Mittenwald are painted with scenes of Bavarian life.
Leutasch Spirit Gorge and Waterfall
From Mittenwald, we walked to the Leutasch Spirit Gorge and Waterfall, which was about 30 minutes from where we are staying. It was a stunning hike, not to strenuous and afforded some beautiful viewpoints.
Leutasch Spirit Gorge
After the gorge hike we did a quick walk up a different canyon to view the waterfall. The temperature difference was amazing - so much cooler (and moist)!
Lautersee
That same day we hiked over to Lautersee, a beautiful alpine lake about 2 miles from Mittenwald. The trail went along a stream and we saw many waterfalls and mountain views along the way.
It was a memorable day in Mittenwald and one of our favorite towns to spend time in.
