In the summer, enjoyable place for some beer and Bavarian food, in the winter a romantic place for Advent markets and walking through the snowy forest. First time, we were here cycling in the summer (the house is in the near forest about 2km from its edge) and we met there whole families on their trips relishing forest shade and the local atmosphere. Well, last time I accidentally found the program leaflet for the Advent time, so we parked nearby and we walked on the snowy road towards the stands with Christmas decorations and refreshments.

There are already many articles about this hill on our web page and I need to say that it’s one of our favourite hill. But two weeks ago, we had such a nice visit, to my great pleasure longing for trips led by a almost three years old young tourist. And so we went on trips to many places and one of them was Wallberg. It’s clear to me that I wouldn’t be able to convince Andrej to go there otherwise (certainly not in November and not at all in that snow except the sledding).

I already hadfelt like we travelled not alone on the plane to Mallorca, but it was just a feeling and I convinced myself that it’s rather unlikely to be truth. After our vacation, I was full of energy only about two days and then it went down rapidly. I slept everyday 12 hours, during the weekend even more but nevertheless I felt like a ghost. Every day in the morning, I got up terribly tired and at the work, I always received a nice careful compliment that I look horrible and I should do something about it.

We discovered this sweet meal at Wallberg. First time, we ordered it just to try what it tastes like (since then only on purpose :)). Then I looked for some good recipe and how to prepare it and now I use this slightly modified recipe from the LandLeben magazine. Ingredients: 220 g flour (plain one used for pancakes) 8 egg yolks 8 egg whites 400 ml milk (or in combination with whipped cream) 2 tbsp sugar pinch of salt butter to bake a handful of raisins (can be soaked in rum) icing sugar for decoration applesauce for dipping Instructions: Mix the egg yolks with sugar and salt.

This was the only trip (not counting the local trips in the forest and cycling), which we managed to do during the summer. I planned more of them, but thanks to my incredible fatigue, I was glad that we were able to get at least here. Kampenwand itself is a rocky hill with a cross at the very top (the largest one in the Bavarian Alps), but the name is used to identify all the surrounding tourist area with lots of hiking routes, cottages and chapels.

Yesterday, it started snowing. The temperature dropped to zero and we were quite pleased that we changed from summer to the winter car tires last week. Children here are having autumn holiday next week, but they can already start writing about winter fun. Well, it is said it should become a bit warmer and I hope so. It would be nice to see snow again, but first in December.

This year, we couldn’t decide where to go on holiday. My usual desire for trips became unbalanced due to the work fatigue and it was replaced by a new desire (very unusual for me) to go to sea on a beautiful sandy beach and at most to make a trip to some of the local restaurants for culinary specialties. Andrej couldn’t believe his ears (after all those years with me, he has experienced many things but he only dreamed quietly about such a vacation with me when we became a couple) and a sudden panic seized him, what we’re actually going to do there.

Last time I wrote how to make a pasta dough and I dreamed about the tortellini. Than I tried to make this lovely pasta again and considering a very tasty result, I bring this recipe to you :) Make the filling first, than prepare the dough according to the instructions here (this way the dough will not becomedry while you preparing the other things.), but use thickness 9 for the final dough sheet.

Yesterday, we went skiing again. This time we chose Sudelfeld ski resort. Our colleague told us that it is a little bit small and local, but less people know about it and therefore it usually is not so crowded on Saturday. The weather was absolutely fantastic, there were really not so many people and we were quite surprised when we found that it is not as small as we heard. In addition, it is a great place for skiing with children with lots of children’s short and mild slopes and help with all lifts.

Today, we went skiing to the lake Spitzingsee. The temperature dropped to -10 and predicted sunshine showed up just before lunch, but skiing was great. Good maintained slopes and only few people caused that we already had enough around the lunch and we returned back home quite tired. I didn’t took a lot of pictures, only one panorama after which I seriously had to warm up my hands. But I hope to fix that this summer.
