The view above is from the drive between Hohenschwangau and Berchtesgaden...right along the northern edge of the Alps, at the southern border of Bavaria, Germany, and just across from Austria.  My brother Cy studied in Innsbruck - "just across these mountains" the same year I was in Regensburg (LINK).  The August 2012 weather was PERFECT for the drive we made from Wuerzburg down the Romantische Strasse (Romantic Road) overnighting in Rothenburg (LINK) to Hohenschwangau (LINK), Berchtesgaden (LINK), Regensburg (LINK), and Munich (LINK).
