Anticipation is the most beautiful joy of all, so they say. Sometimes, it saves us from the gloomier moments of daily life. When the city clamors and everything collapses around you, you long for the expanses and tranquility of the mountains. When you look out the window and the day is at its grayest, a leap of fancy to languid summer nights and a glass of wine enjoyed in a favorite city helps immensely. When a shadow reaches out over everything, we wish nothing dearer than sunshine and lightness.
The last months have been marked by waiting and patience. But now, small glimmers of hope are beginning to take hold. You can see them, feel them. Very slowly, we are allowing ourselves to experience optimistic anticipation. Cautiously, perhaps, but even so.
“It is so sad to look forward to something alone”, says Lessing. Because of that, we can but share our eager expectations with you. Beginning with our castles and mansions.
On the sunny side
For 300 years it has stood there, Ansitz Felsenheim. Directly across, though also at a respectful distance from the imposing rocky edifice of the Zugspitze. At the end of May, the Ansitz will be opening its gates once again to those in search of a summer escape. Indeed, the nearby mountains offer perfect conditions to do precisely that. Extended hikes or refreshment in alpine lakes. Relaxing afterwards in the steam bath and sauna. Winding down the day gazing out across the surrounding peaks.
