Aerial Shots: Lake Constance, Bregenz Forest, Eibsee
Last weekend we set off on a short road trip from Lake Constance to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Of course the drone came along. After a night in the Bregenz Forest we drove over the Flexen Pass on the Arlberg, past the Hahntennjoch, which was unfortunately closed, to the Eibsee.
From Lake Constance to the Eibsee
Along the way there were varied spots for the drone, from glittering Lake Constance and the green hills of the Bregenz Forest to the mighty peaks at the Eibsee. The Bregenzerwald covers the valley of the Bregenzer Ach south-east of Bregenz up to the Hochtannberg Pass and is known for its timber architecture, its three-tier farming of valley, Vorsäss and alp, and its mountain cheese.

Here are a few pictures from along the way.
