The Zugspitze in the Wetterstein Mountains, Germany

I must admit that Ray has come up trumps many times choosing our next location and we are often blessed with some decent weather conditions, if only for a day or two but more than expected at this time of the year 😉 Continue reading Grossglockner High Alpine Road
