Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[pvpeacock]

KYBeer, not to rain on your parade, but the "rules" are that the person who guesses correctly is the one who gets to post the next picture otherwise it would be a free for all. Good luck to the Bengals on Sunday nevertheless

@InspectorJon’s Somethingsee is closest so far. The town that shares the same name as the lake isn’t quite visible in the picture, but has an eponymous brewery that makes some of the best helles I’ve ever had.

got it.

Spitzingsee

Close, but this is a larger lake than Spitzingsee. I was staying in the castle on the hillside, which is owned by the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft.

 

[Irenjcombs]

Tegernsee?

 

[duncan.brown]

@Irenjcombs has it, it is Tegernsee, Germany. As they say on their web site, "Nothing in Bavaria is as Bavarian as the Tegernsee Valley."

 

[Irenjcombs]

Those big lakes in Bavaria are beautiful.
So, here's mine, the building in the foreground is my very favorite brewery.

 

[D.B.Moody]

I think I'd have a pretzel, a brat, and an Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel at the Andechs Braustuberl.

EDIT: in response to later posts - Andechs, Bavaria, Germany

 

[Irenjcombs]

I'd kill for one of those right now.
Good job

 

[KyBeer]

Is that in Germany?

 

[Irenjcombs]

Yes, a little monastary in Bavaria that's been brewing beer for 500ish years.

 

[Pkrd]

Wait, Bavaria is in Germany? Have you asked a Bavarian about that?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Please realize, @Irenjcombs, that the picture you posted had a URL on it that could be used to get the answer.
This is from 1990; no "Somethingsee" that I know of here:

Feels like the Alps, we're clearly in a German-speaking part of the world.

I can't remember my continental postboxes well enough, I think it's Austrian rather than German?

So on the basis that we might be being topical, I'll say the only Austrian host of the Winter Olympics - Innsbruck.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not Innsbruck, Austria; it is not Austrian rather than German; it is Alps and German-speaking, (Only topical in relation to recent skyline postings, Cincinnati aside.)

 

[InspectorJon]

I saw that town in several different places, if you know what I mean. I spent three weeks in the German speaking alps once. We were visiting my daughter when she was being a barista at the Edelweiss Lodge in Garmish. I'll guess Oberammergau, Germany as a winnowing tool. I think most of those towns had a eponymous brewery.

 

[D.B.Moody]

It is Obermmergau and in the Bavarian Alps. You're up @InspectorJon.

 

[Irenjcombs]

Isn't that where they have the summer slides? I remember going there as a kid

I don't know about the slides. It is most famous for the Passion Play they put on every ten years. We just stopped there when traveling from Munich to Innsbruck.
Oberammergau also happens to be on the Ammer River, which starts at Ammersee which is in the background of the picture you posted with Andechs in the foreground. This is why I stuck with the Bavarian Alps and used Oberammergau for my post.

 

[InspectorJon]

Some other pictures of Oberammergau:

I did not understand this one until I researched relics:

 

[InspectorJon]

And my submission for your consideration:

 

[D.B.Moody]

It's been 24 hours. Didn't anyone even try Googling "Bavarian church"?

 

[Irenjcombs]

St Johannes in Grainau, Germany

 

[InspectorJon]

Grainau it is. @Irenjcombs you are up.

 

[Irenjcombs]

Leaving Bavaria for this one

 

[3 Dawg Night]

San Francisco?

 

[Irenjcombs]

You got it

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Took this one just last week.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Time for a hint? We (i.e., this thread) haven't been on this continent in nearly a month.
