When the snow had stopped falling we went to Lake Thumsee on the outskirts of Bad Reichenhall, Bavaria.We followed the path that takes you around the lake. There are many walks and hikes that start from here, although more accessible in better weather.
The lake is also a popular bathing spot in the summer months. Absolutely no way you'd want to go in at this time of year!
The surface of the lake had frozen over in areas and more snow had settled on the top.
It was great to see so much snow.

How pleasing is this neatly stored wood pile?
There is a steep staircase that takes you up to St. Pankraz Kirche. The church is only occasionally used. There were 365 steps, one for every day of the year, but after refurbishment there are now 300. There was a barrier preventing people using the steps as it was too dangerous underfoot. We hope to go up and look inside another day.
At the end of our walk we passed this barn that had been built around a tree!
In search of lunch we drove on to Lake Konigssee which will feature in my next post...
Thanks for reading.
