Bad Feilnbach


I recently visited Bad Feilnbach, a little town about 60 km (approximately 38 miles) from Munich (München). If you click on the map below, you get a bigger view and can make out Munich at the bottom right and Bad Feilnbach more in the middle in front of a mountain.


The town is near the Alpes and has a very special charm. There are many beautiful farm houses.


Cows on a pasture.


A restaurant I would like to visit one day.


Spring is definitely here!


The main street with a big chestnut tree on the left.


A billboard advertising a hearty Bavarian Brotzeit (snack).


Another view of the main street with a bank on the left side.


A typical house facade:

Maria mit dem Kinde lieb
uns allen deinen Segen gib.

(Mary with the dear child
give us all your blessing.)


The church.


The town hall.


A Maibaum (maypole).


People enjoying ice-cream on a sunny day. Some girls were wearing traditional costumes.


Another pretty house facade.


A look into a private garden -- so very green!


A sculpture of a person sitting on an apple -- iMonument?


A lovely creek.

Glorious April sunset


 One of the last April evenings held a special light show in store.


The sunset was simple beautiful.


 Everything was glowing in a rosy, warm light.


The sky seemed to be on fire.


The range of colors was amazing.


This picture (minus the antenna) reminds me of an African sunset as seen on TV.


All that glory -- simply breathtaking!
