mountain hiking -' Wanken' near Garmisch, Germany

Yesterday Hanna andI did a long mountain tour. We climbed the 'Wanken' at Garmisch (really Partenkirchen) in Bavaria, Germany in three and a half hours. One can see the highest mountain in Germany, the 'Zugspitze' and the wold famous skiing jump at the bottom. The beetle is a European longhorn beetle, the fist one that I saw in my lifetime. i don't want to see it more often though.
