While Lis works, Bob heads to the Olympic Stadium parking lot with a friend – Lynn – and they make their way toward the Partnach Gorge with a “short” little sidebar up the mountain. The way up starts with a fun little two-person cable car rode after a short walk and then we decide to take the hike up to the top of the Echbauer as a little warm-up. There is still a bit of snow on the trail higher up but we reach the top and are rewarded with lovely views of the snow-covered surrounding mountains and nice vistas on the way back. After coffee and ice cream, we head to the main event, the famous Partnach-Gorge. Our way is blocked on one path so we divert to Plan B. After a long steep downward climb, we reach a sign that says the Gorge trail is blocked for maintenance work. Ignoring the sign – well, the work was mostly done - we continue along the path and reach the true entrance to the Gorge. Sorry, it’s closed until the weekend. By the way, how did you get here, buddy? Sorry, No sprechen se Deutshe, yah ? Yah !!! I will add some Gorge pictures from last year to give you a sense of the beauty of the place. We leave quickly, disappointed that we couldn’t do the true Gorge hike. Still, it was a great hike overall. Liz and Bob take a nice bike ride at the end of the day. We dine at the hotel with Jana and have a great time. Full fun day.
