Garmisch, Germany

| Coach house & biergarten (Brixen, Italy) |
Today is our first organized tour.
So far, we’ve done everything on our own but
decided to take a tour into northern Italy
from southern Germany.
Our bus leaves Garmisch and travels through the Bavarian
Alps (Germany), Innsbruck and Brenner Pass (Austria),
into the Sudtirol region of northern Italy. We stop in Brixen, Italy
to tour one of the most famous Bishops Cathedrals (St. Michaels) in southern
Tryrol. It is beautiful inside. The pipe organ has over 3,000 pipes!
After leaving Brixen, we travel to Vipiteno,
Italy to tour the Reifenstein Castle.
There is actually a countess who still lives on the grounds. It is a medieval castle and we enjoy our tour
and the information our German tour guide (Mrs. Sharp) gives us, including the
dungeon.
After having lunch in Vipiteno at Burgfrieden Restaurant, we
head back to Garmisch.
