We left Warth in the morning just to drive towards king Ludwig's lands. After the coffeebreak at the castle Neuschwanstein we escaped the traffic jam and reached the picnic place at the Plansee.

After the farewell - dinner we had to say goodbye and fell into our beds. Thanks to everybody for this fantastic week!
