Olympic Ski Stadium: Partenkirchen, Germany
The resort in Germany offered many things to do such as, swimming, rafting, day-tours, hiking, and biking to name a few. This particular day we went on a bike ride around the town and visited some sites including the Olympic Ski Stadium where they perform the ski jumps. It was a neat place to see and walk around, but considering it was an OLYMPIC stadium I expected a whole lot more in terms of upkeep, quality, etc.
This is the outside of the stadium. People travel from all around the globe to watch the ski jumpers.
The stadium seemed very small and I would have preferred for it to have more upkeep, but I must say, it was incredible to stand there and look around and absorb all the traditions and historical events that have taken place in the stadium. We got to walk all around the stadium and just feel the immense power of the great athletes as well as all the people that united to watch the Olympics.
Amazing view, huh? In the distance is one of highest mountains in Germany, the Zugspitze.
The stadium held its first events in 1936, and is still active today in the same manner.
The architectural structures are absolutely mind-boggling. It’s hard to wrap around the fact that in 1936 Adolf Hitler was sitting in the stadium and watching the Winter Games. And, we were lucky enough to have seen the stadium first hand, exactly as it was in 1936. INCREDIBLE!

Afterwards, the storms clouds started rolling in so we went ahead and put on our rain coats so that we could finish our bike ride through town and back to the resort.
Right after this picture was taken, by me of course, it started pouring down rain and it was the best bike ride ever!! It’s very invigorating riding a bicycle in a heavy shower and enthralling the scenic atmosphere of lush green trees and mountains galore!! By the way, don't they look cute in their matching red raincoats?
