Thursday morning Tom picked me up for an eight K hike!

The trailhead! this area hosted the world cross country skiing championships a few years ago!

Beautiful forest and a nice road(s) for the trail!

The „Grosser Arber“ (the „big Arber“) is the highest mountain in the Bavarian Forest, 1455 meters high and close to the „Kleiner Arber“ (the „little Arber“), which is 2.5 km away. This area is a beautiful skiing resort in winter and a popular hiking destination in the fall.

Up on top of the hill Ted happened to watch a video production – lucky guy!

After the gondola adventure we drove to the Arberlake restaurant where Ted ordered an Arber Burger

Back at the hotel we spent several hours at the pool / hot tub / sauna to practice for tomorrow 🥳

Joska is another fun glass place to visit! My visible impaired mom is enjoying all those bright bold glass sculptures that, when the sunlight reflects, have a very intense glow!
