Europe - Day Three

Day Three - 26 Sep 2008

Before we left the hotel we took this picture of Stephie (prounouced “Schteffie”) who had taken such good care of us at the hotel. Her name is actually Stephanie and was delighted to find we had a daughter with the same name with the same spelling.

We drove from Berchtesgaden to Innsbruck,Austria, thoroughly enjoying the scenery – everything so green and the leaves were just starting to turn fall colors. We didn’t spend long in Innsbruck, but did take time to find the LDS chapel there. Mick had actually helped work on the construction of this building while he served his mission in Austria.

From there we drove from Innsbruck to Garmish, Germany. Here we hiked up a gorge. It was approximately a one-mile gorge cut through sheer rock, which was approximately 15 ft wide with a fast flowing river coursing through it. There was a path cut through this rock with a railing guarding you from falling and followed just to the side of the river. Quite beautiful as well as breath-taking.





From there we drove to Reutte, Austria – just across the border from Germany – and found a hotel.
