Botanic Gardens Munich

The botanic gardens are situated near the Schloss Nymphenburg. It was created 1909 and has more than 15’000 different plants.  The entrance charge is only 4 euros and you should definitely go there. You can walk directly from the botanic gardens to the Nymphenburg where you can find the Schlosscafe in the Palmenhaus. It is a nice place to have some coffee before visiting the Nymphenburg.

Spanish Potato Tortilla (Tortilla Española) Workshop

IMG_2554On the weekend we tried to make some original potato tortillas. Basically you need potatoes, eggs, onions and oil. We prepared the meal for 3 persons and fortunately we had some help from our spanish friend Artigas (thanks Artigas) so the result wasn’t that bad… we documented the process in detail to repeat it for further perfection :-) . Check out the gallery.

Fürstensteig (1900m) – Bargella

A nice half day trip is from Gaflei via Fürstensteig to Bargella. You can do this trip easily in the morning and you are back for lunchtime. Actually the moving time is about 1 hour and 40 mins so with a few breaks it takes you about 2,5 hours.

The view is unique. At the top of the Bargellasattel you have a nice view of the Alps of Liechtenstein, with its valleys and sharp peaks. From the Gafleisattel you also have a direct view of the Three Sisters chain.
