Forgensee

Over 40 km biked in one day on alpine foothill paths round trip around Schwangau and the Forgensee. It took several hours, and left us sore, but was worth it.

First stop, Tegelbergbahn summer luge

Being pulled up the hill

Luging downhill

Stop #2, Are we going the right way? Who cares, look at the view.

Stop#3, The chain on my bike loses its gears on a hill. I walked it to the top and managed to fix it. While doing so, a potentially mentally ill German woman eager to practice her English stopped to chat with us, show us photos of her California vacation, and asked if we wanted her to take this "selfie" of us. I say she might be mentally ill because she said she was checked into a nearby rehab clinic for knee surgery (but biking alpine foothills?) , and several km later, we passed a clinic for pyschosomatichse. 

Stop#4, The view of the castles from the other side of the Forgensee,  neatly 3/4s through our trip.

Stop# 5 - I lost count..., tired legs, sore buts, hot showers and bed.
