Regen - Degendorf

Photo 1: Geßinger Rock in the Bavarian Forest...

Today was my last mountain climb. I had great weather to do it. From this point I could see the German Alps in the distance and the Isar River that I would be following the last four hikes to my home.

Photo 2: Panorama view of Regen in the early morning...

Photo 3: The oinion dome which is very common on churches and chapels in Bavaria...

Photo 4: The bavarian equivilent of "Home Sweet Home!" I liked the wood carving of a hiker to the right who now comes home.

Photo 5: It was only the grace of God that has brought to this point. From here the rest of the way is mostly down hill or a gradual incline along the river.

The hotel where I stayed in Degendorf is owned and operatered by the Kolping Association in affiliation with the Catholic Church. I commented on this to the young woman at the reception and she asked if I was a priest or something. We had a short God-Talk after which I was able to pray for her.
