July 31, Tue: Return to Oberstdorf, Prep for Switzerland

Goal: return to Oberstdorf from Einodsbach Hutte, prep for Switzerland

Lazy day. Slept in. Followed Sign back to town.

• Great breakfast at Einodsbach Hutte and visit with owner



• Drop 1000 feet to valley floor and about 6 miles back to town. Lots of neat old houses, all with flowers. Took a side route through the forest above a beautiful lake. Went underneath the largest ski jump in the area. Can´t imagine how anyone could accelerate down a 60 or 70 degree slope, sight unseen for the landing area.



• Crossed river many times, often with bridges that are works of art. See pic.
  
• Interesting water trough in town.
  
• Hit town, went to Information and found another place to stay for the night. Needed to be nearer the Bahnhof (Train) to exit town early tomorrow morning for Switzerland. We also needed someone to offer breakfast at 7am. Found a great place for 50Euro for two.



• Washed clothes and hung out to dry; stopped at Bank and got more Euros.
• Stopped by Interet cafe to update this blog.
• Went to Baunhof and bought train tickets to Interlachen and Grindewald and reserved room at NaturFreundeHaus (hostel).
