Zugspitze is the highest mountain in Germany. It is 2,962 meters tall which is 9,718 feet. It sits on the border of Austria and Germany. On Sunday we decided to take the cable car to the top.

| You can see the cables on the left. |
 |
| Are you guys sure this is a good idea? |
It was breathtaking! And cold. It was 2 degrees Celsius (which is 35.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
 |
| The Austria side. |
 |
| My awesome husband took this as the clouds broke. Amazing! |

We had packed our rain jackets but Fisher refused to pack pants. What can you do?
You play in the snow in your shorts, that's what you do. In August.
You can sled too.
Then complain a little later because your butt is cold.
 |
| A cool observation area. |
We ate lunch at the restaurant on top. We actually ate lunch INSIDE A CLOUD! Are you kidding me Austria??
After lunch we took the cable car back down. We decided to head back Berwang and just play around at the pool/recreation area for the evening. They had a bounce house, a pool, a splash area, mini golf, a restaurant, playgrounds, and a very friendly squirrel.

 |
| Can you believe the backdrop on this mini golf course? |
 |
| On the playground while the boys played golf. |
 |
| "Mama, take my picture." |
 |
| Can you imagine when she actually takes lessons? |
 |
| More of the splash area. |

| This little guy kept climbing on the table and trying to steal my burger. |
Now for the cows. Adorable, friendly alpine cows.

Guess who wants cow? If you said all of us...you win.
We love cows, big mountains, and mini golf!
