            Taking the advice from Geoff Walden's excellent website I set out in search of the site of Hitler's tea house on the Mooslahnerkopfh. To get to it I had to traverse the Gusthof golf coourse, which in Adolf's day was a meadow. The teahouse remains are almost directly behind the 13th hole of the golf course. Since the course wasn't open, there were not pins and I had to guesstimate which hole it was based on Geoff's pictures and others I had found online and in books...

                        I was able to find two steps that originally led to the door of the teahouse still intact, but that was it.

                            Don, great photo presentation, and some really great architecture and scenery you photographed, thanks for sharing with us . Obviously you really took your time and did alot of walking to capture some of these locations from so many angles.
                            Thanks,
