Waldseil Park, Golm and Lunersee

Had a great day at Golm, where there is a large rope park set in the trees. Alex, Charlie and I went over rope bridges, a variety of obstacles and lots of zip wires (flying foxes). Alex and Roger went down an enormous flying fox 570 m long, 40 m above ground and reaching speeds of up to 70kph over the lake. Then we went down the Alpine roller coaster again which was very very fast and a lot of fun (2.6km, 350m altitude drop and speeds up to 40kph)

The next day was very hot (36 degrees). We took the cable car up to a crater lake Lunersee at 1970m at the head of the picturesque Brandertal Valley. The views were stunning and many people used it as a starting point for hikes to the surrounding peaks. Not us... too hot and time to retire to the pool with an ice-cream.

Legend has it that there are four boxes of Nazi treasure buried in the lake. The treasure is supposed to be fifty million dollars of jewelry, rare stamps and gold bars. In 1956 the level of the lake was raised for a hydro-electric scheme and the treasure has never been found.
