Our tour begins. Unfortunately no photos were allowed inside.

We traveled down from the castle by horse carriage

Next stop was Mt Tegelberg

We ascended Mt Tegelberg by cablecar

Others hiked to the top, rock climbed the cliffs
and even parasailed from the top

A beautiful view

but an ominous dark cloud on the horizon

Eating lunch on top of the world

A few minutes later everyone cleared out, visibility going to zero

Visiting the Weiskirche in the forest was our alternative to our cancelled bobsled run down the mountain

Pilgrims visit this church because of the statue of Jesus that was reported to have once shed tears.

Dinner in a restaurant in the forest

Lots of German food which definitely gained Jacob's approval
