First stop today, Hohenwerfen Castle which stands high on a hill on the main road to St. Johann. We passed it several times on our journeys and had a perfect day to visit.
Cute little girl on the unicorn
4 meter thick walls!!
View from the bell tower...I severely challenged my acrophobia on this trip!!
Coming down from the bell tower. It was a little disconcerting that the bell weighed 5K lbs and the entire tower dome was made of wood...really, really, old wood!
Falconry demonstration outside the castle...of course it was all in German so we couldn't understand a thing..but enjoyable nonetheless. Beautiful birds..
This is a picture from the top of the Eagles Nest in Berchtesgaden, Germany where Hitler had his hideaway.

Crazy trip up on the bus...and back down.

In the town of Berchtesgaden..
Street performer who just happened to be playing "Here Comes The Sun"...Tim stopping by to say hello....always thinking of him...
Wood carvers shop with beautiful Nativities and figurines, just a little out of my price range!
