The Swarm suggested, to print this and to pinn it on the wall in the office.
I also heard the suggestion to use it in bedrooms.
The Swarm wanted to post this last year but, I never did. Since I have been up on the Laber Mountain several times this year too, now is high time to start.
We went up on our Bavarian Mountain Laber in the Longest, Oldest, Highest Two Cable Circular Gondola Cableway.
Before I entered, a small group of tourists were queue-jumping,
and I therefor retaliated and stated in the gondola:
„They did a great job welding in the floor since the last time.“
The “Laberbergbahn” is the longest, oldest, highest Two Rope Circular Big-Gondola Cableway on earth now. It is the only one which uses this technology. Operation started 1957 and it is an attraction in the village Oberammergau.
It takes you up on a mountain full of flowers, birds, paragliders, mountain rescue forces practicing in helicopters, glider planes, hang-glider and hiker. The mountain offers a great view, on a clear day as far as to Munich in the North or overlooking the Wetterstein Mountain Range in the South. There is a restaurant at the summit and a nice mountain pasture on the hike up or down. Underneath lie the villages Oberammergau and Ettal. And here is a selection of photos from several years and seasons.
Here is a link to the Webcam.
Watching it now, the swarm must have been visible there too live. They should be in the Best Shots Collection.
Über Deine Gipfel Jagen Nebelschwaden. My Schicksalsberg.
Seen from another perspective. The mountains are partly privat property which was seized from Monastery Ettal (1803 secularisation) by Wittelsbacher King Maximilian I. And because the Wittelsbacher royals could not manage it (uncontrolled deforestation took place) Ludwig II. gave it to the local farmers 1873. To save the hunting grounds for the Wittelsbacher.
The Ettaler Manndl lies on the way and is a challanging hike. It requires walking at a climbing rope at the summit and shurefootedness. (recently used for promotion)
In early spring you might pass a small lake which drips dry soon before summer. (this is not my picture, might be copy right protected). There is a leakage.
Woodwork art is present too on the hike.
In fact, alpine Ibexes had been seen in the Ammergauer Mountains, but they just came to visit.

The beer here comes direct from Monastery Ettal, the „Benedektiner“.
One shareholder of the cableway is monastery Ettal. They provide for the beer and an advertisment memorial Gondola which commemorates 400 year old Hotel Ludwig der Bayer, owned by the monastery.
More Art on the way.
On the pasture „Soileralem“ they sell Beer frorm Hacker.
