I have lived in a few of the flattest countries on earth, namely Denmark and Finland. The highest point of Denmark is 171 m (!). In Finland the hills reach up to 1300 m, but I come from the area where there is none of that in sight.

So guess what I’m doing when I drive up to the Alps? Yep, it’s “oooooh” and “aaaah” and “look at that” all the way.

Last weekend I visited Oberstdorf which is about 2,5 hour drive from München. It is a nice little town in the middle of mountains and there is plenty to do in the area. The town center is car-free and it is very compact. The shopping opportunities are not the greatest unless you want to buy outdoorsy clothing. Plenty of restaurants, the turist-info is helpful (and they speak English) and even in this out-of-season time it is very lively. Cannot but recommend!

Below are some photos of Nebelhorn and Söllereck peaks where we visited.
