Happy in Wengen

I sometimes wonder what I would be doing if I had not found Wengen,
I found this little village quite by accident and I am amazed every day how clean and beautiful it really is
That is why my best mate from back Home in Wales, Brian Kinsey wants to keep visiting it is a little piece of heaven in the Allgäu Alpland
Where the people are so friendly  and polite,and you feel safe and at the same time you are not far from the Regional metropole of Kempten or the Capital of Munich,Wander in the mountains in Summer or sking in Winter.

Great Alpsee

Kempten is reputed to be the oldest city in Germany and was a stronghold for the Romans and of course we have the fairy castle of Neuschwanstein not very far away on the border of Austria set in an Idylic area and built by King Ludwig 11. Who was a mesmorising figure who has prompted many articles to be written about him,his friendship with Richard Wagner and his eccentric ideas which I find to be of utter brilliance.The King of Bavaria who had the vision to build so many Castles of extreme beauty which are visited by Thousands of tourists every day.

Neuschwanstein

I can recommend that everyone visits Germany,Come to Allgäu and enjoy the friendly atmosphere,great cooking and the sights that I have shown you here

I have included some pictures of my walk from Wengen to Wenger Egg and back via the woods please enjoy

Went for a 3 hour walk today and took loads of Photos,a 3hour walk is not much but is a marathon when your not fit,
Just got to figure out how to get the photos on here,but it will be worth the wait

Two crazy guys ,bet you don´t know where they come from.

Ingrid is looking a bit Devilish







And having a great evening with Maria

Fasching is of course a great Carnival time lots of drinking and shows

So fasching is gone for another year.

We ran out of Aspirin.

The ladies of the village put on another great evening of entertainment.

A great picture of Henrik Alandt trying to scare us all.

I am looking a bit worse for wear but I am really great after a Bloody Mary.

On August 31st 2008 we have the Alphorn treff once again in Wengen.

The last time it was held in 1998 we had 10000 visitors to the village to see

around 200 Alphorn Bläsers perform together on a beautifull summer day.

See the small picture above.

All the Gästetten (Pubs) were full and quickly sold out the beer and food.

We expect many guests once again this year.
