COVID-19 Summer

 Because of the COVID-19 pandemic we decided to travel close to home, starting with the Bayerischer Wald.


First, we climbed Grosser Falkenstein to the Falkenstein Schutzhaus,



then we climbed up into the Baumwipfelpfad



and, finally, we visited the Steinklamm and the Glasmuseum.

Our next mini-vacation was to Fusch, Austria, to drive the Grossglockner High Alpine Road

and to see what is left of the Pasterze Glacier.

Our final trip of the summer was to Maastricht, Netherlands, followed by De Panne, Belgium and ending at Przemko's in Everberg and Leuven.

Bob made sure to practice social distancing in Maastricht's Vrijthof.


We walked through the Dodengang (Death Trench) and the trenches of Sanctuary Wood near Ypres,


as well as on De Westhoek dunes and De Panne beach,

before touring Leuven's Begijnhof with Przemko.
