Sonthofen is the second most southern town in Germany. It initially appeared to be a retirement community, but I think it turns into a haven for skiiers once the winter season rolls around. We arrived in the early afternoon, but the reception at the hotel didn't open for several hours. (We of course, were notified of this after carrying our luggage a mile to the hotel, and couldn't get in. I was half tempted to leave my suitcase under a bench. We rolled back to the pub near the train station and had Bratworst and a beer for lunch. (A-maz-ing!)
Everything was closed on Sunday. Luckily I found a nearby town that had a cable car to the top of the Alps! We were able to hike around for a few hours before heading back down. You might be able to see a little bit of snow in the background slopes.
This guy knew what it was all about. I loved the hat & bow tie, but was a little disappointed he didn't go full out with the lederhosen. As we hiked around, I was able to give a little yodel. It wasn't loud enough to echo, but who else do you know that has yodeled in the Alps?
As we walked around Sonthofen a little more, I happen to laugh at some of the signs around town. Unfortunately, Kid shits was closed.
The local brewery was closed, but the restaurant attached wasn't! The beer was delicious, and we were able to spot it at a few of our Lake Constance stops.
