[…] The walk through the Klamm takes around forty minutes – possibly longer in frozen conditions – that’s if you are not stopping behind people taking pictures every few seconds. I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to the patient people stuck behind me (thankfully most of them were actually my family – not usually patient, but awestruck on this occasion I reckon!). You can of course carry on and walk for miles on the other side, as once through the gorge, various serious-hiking options await. We turned back on this occasion as we had two small people with us who were periodically declaring that they were hungry, and with no guarantee of the closest food option on the hiking route being open, we thought it the safest option. And I am glad we did, or we wouldn’t have spotted this! […]

Michele {Malaysian Meanders} says
Cool photo. I guess you weren’t nervous it would drop on you. For some reason, I’m imagining the Roadrunner and Wylie Coyote.
bavaria says
That did actually cross my mind too! :D
older mum in a muddle says
Stunning! Hope you’ve had a fab summer! X
bavaria says
Thank you lovely. Escape wise, it’s been perfect. Sun wise not so! :D Hope you did too xx

Coombe Mill - Fiona says
What a wonderful place to explore!
bavaria says
Thanks Fiona. Looks fantastic doesn’t it? :)
kelloggsville says
Do you sort of hope the boulder stays stuck for a few more minutes as you walk underneath?! I always do.
Great colours and light.
bavaria says
Totally! Nobody had noticed it though, it was only because I was taking so many pictures!! :D Thank you x
Grace says
Wow, what a vista. That hanging rock looks amazing. x
bavaria says
Thanks Mum. You would have found it a little hair-raising here I think… :D xx
Jessica @ Independent Travel Cats says
When I first looked at this I thought there was a waterfall, but then saw that it was rocks and the play of the sunlight. Nice photo. #SundayTraveler
bavaria says
Thanks so much Jessica! :)
Jazzygal says
Wow….that’s such a good capture it looks like a painting! xx
bavaria says
Thank you J! :) xx
Phoebe @ Lou Messugo says
My eye was first drawn to the rock precariously wedged in the gorge and then I saw the cross bottom left and wondered what on earth it was doing there? Fascinating photo.
bavaria says
Thanks Phoebe! This was taken in the Partnach Gorge in Garmisch, a canyon carved through the middle of the rocks by roaring water. I think the cross was put there in honour of all the men that died when it was famous for logging generations ago.
Notmyyearoff says
That boulder looks very nicely wedged there (thankfully). Impressive cave!
bavaria says
Doesn’t it just? Thanks Tas! :)
Funky Wellies says
Fab shot, probably a good thing that boulder got stuck there on its way down? xx
bavaria says
Thank you FW. Yes, I think so too! :) xx
Kim Carberry says
Oh wow! That is such an interesting photo!
I wouldn’t fancy walking under that boulder though…
bavaria says
It was off to one side if you see what I mean, so even if it did somehow manage to dislodge itself, it SHOULD just fall straight into the water! :D Thanks Kim! :)
Carla Nyanyo says
Wow! What can I say other than beautiful and mesmerising!
bavaria says
Thank you Carla! :)
City Coastal Lifestyle says
such an interesting shot, I’ve been to Garmisch with my family (who live nearby).
bavaria says
What lucky things to live so close to the mountains! You must say hi next time! :)
Mary @ Over 40 and a Mum to One says
What a stunning shot, love that ‘little’ boulder crammed there at the top #SilentSunday
bavaria says
Thanks Mary! :)
Laura Alonso says
This is very cool – kind of reminds me of Superman’s home! We’re going skiing to Garmisch this season – any tips?
bavaria says
Thanks Laura… Yes, definitely! If you don’t mind the cold, then you absolutely have to try this: http://www.thesojournseries.com/bavaria/eskimo-dreaming/
Laura Alonso says
That looks amazing!!! Unfortunately, we’ll be with a three-month old baby and its grandparents when we go at the end of the year, so will just stick to some skiing this time, but have bookmarked it. Views look amazing! Can’t wait!
bavaria says
One day then Laura, definitely! :) Thank you!
Jollyjillys says
Wow great shot just as long as it doesn’t fall lol. Have a great Sunday
bavaria says
Thanks Jilly! :) You too! :)
Sophie RR says
I love this! What a fantastic place. Quite a coincidence but my entry this week has a similar feel.
bavaria says
Thanks Sophie! Looking forward to visiting again when it’s all frozen in the winter, should be stunning! :)
Sarah MumofThree World says
Is that inside a cave? There’s a lot to take in here – with the funny rock stuck halfway down, the beautiful light and the little gate at the bottom of the photo. Intriguing!
bavaria says
It’s like an open air cave I guess, carved through the rock by a roaring river. Thank you! :)
Jean (notsupermum) says
Great photo as always, took me a minute to figure it out. Love the boulder stuck like that, looks precarious but probably been there for ages.
bavaria says
Thanks Jean. It took me a moment to figure it out too, this was behind us and I turned back and noticed it. It probably has been there for years like you said! :)
Steph @MisplacedBrit says
STUNNING!! Wow! Where have you been?
Wish I was there :-)
#SilentSunday
bavaria says
Thanks Steph! Took this at the Partnach Gorge in Garmisch a few days ago. Truly impressive place, just don’t forget your raincoat! :D
Sarah Scott says
Wow! Is this a doorway to a church? I spy a cross? It looks fantastic. Where is it?
bavaria says
Thanks Sarah, it’s actually a gorge near the mountains in Garmisch (post coming up soon!), there’s a little religious plaque on the wall here, but I liked the boulder stuck between the two rocks! :)
