24T73 Eckbauer and Wamberg

By on

E72

A tiny church stands proudly in a sub-alpine environment surrounded with meadows, with a winding road below and solid rock pyramids above. Not bad, actually, for a fixed-lens camera and digital zoom.

The hiking paths up to Wamberg are steep, but there is the option of the Eckbauer aerial-way or cable-car to cut some of that time and effort. I’m suitably lazy on the ascent, but the steep descent exacts a cost on wobbly knees and shaky hammies and calves. I’m gettin’ old, and I already recognize these “mountain days” are lookin’ scant for the future.

Ascent on the Eckbauer cable-car; over Olympic ski-jump & Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Haymaking above Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
I like to think of this as a gateway of sorts.
Wamberg, its church just in view.
