Once again, I have no idea what to write. The weather gods were too kind with the temperature, so I walked up a steep path through the shady forest to the Tennenblick Inn. There, I was rewarded with a delicious goulash. I also visited the beautiful ski museum in Werfenweng and was given a private tour by the museum director because I donated about 15 rare ski lesson plans from 1892 to 1925. Hans decided on the type of tour; depending on your preferences, you're sure to find something to look at. Go in, it's worth it; describing the individual areas by season would go beyond the scope of this article. I ate a fantastic trout at Pizzeria Chilly.

I arrived just in time to cool off in the water jet. I was a bit surprised by the relatively small spectator area; in Oberstdorf, it's considerably larger. I wonder how the spectators get up the mountain, given the steep and narrow road.
