Craft Tree Corner

Children’s Basic Sewing Class “KOBOLD”

Wednesdays, August 3 and 10, 10 a.m.–12 p.m.

Class fee: $32 Make a little Kobold, a bag that holds all your im-

portant things like money, keys and cell phone. This

class is especially for kids and beginners.

Verona Opera Under the Stars September 2-4, $333

Without a doubt one of the best trips that we do all year is the annual trek

to Verona, Italy for some great eating, drinking, and attending an Italian

opera under the stars in the 2000 year old Arena! Truly an event not to be

missed! The opera is Verdi’s “Aida” in a production that dates back to the

first year it was performed in the Arena–1913! Also a chance to have

gourmet meals in two of our favorite restaurants. We guarantee that you

will know as much about the opera as any of those that sit in the expen-

sive seats, and we will be more comfortable in shorts and T shirts !

Bavarian Motor Cars Grand

Slam Softball Tournament Up to ten teams from Germany and Italy travel

to Garmisch to compete in our annual softball

tournament, held on Kozlowski Field with its

spectacular view of the Zugspitze. The tourna-

ment begins Friday, August 12 at 3 p.m. with

opening ceremonies. The tournament is con-

ducted using a Pool play format. There is an

ice breaker for all participants, officials and

their family members at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

This year’s event is sponsored by Bavarian

Motor Cars Gmbh, Gatorade, Pepsi and Pro-

pel, the Riessersee Hotel and Spa, and the

Garmisch Community Club.

Strongman/woman Competi-

tion

Here is the plan:

Friday evening – Racers can

register for up to two (2) of the

three events, pick-up your num-

ber, and attend the icebreaker.

Riders may pre-ride the course,

which we highly recommend.

Saturday – We start at 9 a.m.

with the Cross-Country Chal-

lenge. The run is one lap but

longer than in previous years.

The new course will start in

front of the Kean’s Lodge and

will lead down to the Loisach

River. This will be a trail run-

ner’s dream- a wonderful run-

ning adventure amidst the

beautiful scenery of Garmisch!

Entirely off road, this trail run

will be a 6-kilometer challenge

with hill climbs and ―single

track‖ forest paths. At noon we

switch gears and kick off the

26th Annual Fat Tire Spectacu-

lar mountain bike race the

oldest mountain bike race in

Germany, and the US Forces

Championship race of the IM-

COM mountain bike series.

First, the kids and youth, then

the adults will compete. It is

five times up and down a 5k

cross-country single-track loop

of gnarly, rocky, root laden

paths. Around 4 p.m., we start

the Mountain Strongman/

woman competition, led by

Garmisch Outdoor Rec and the Mueller Fitness Center present…

The Garmisch Summer Sports Festival

Family and MWR programs pro-

vide many opportunities to par-

ticipate in sporting and fitness

activities. We have beautifully

equipped fitness centers, intra-

mural sports leagues, and end-

less opportunities for pick-up

games. But what about the solo

sports enthusiast? The one you

will see on a mountain vice a

spinning bike or in a kayak in-

stead of a rowing machine. This

person likes to ski and rock

climb, someone whose regular

aerobic workout is a 50-

kilometer road bike ride, or a 10

-kilometer run. Their gym is not

located within a specific area, it

is everywhere, and they train

just as hard as anyone else! We

call them the ―Outdoor Ath-

letes‖. So what is Garmisch do-

ing to satisfy these ―Outdoor

Athletes?

This Labor Day weekend, Friday,

September 2 to Sunday, Sep-

tember 4, Garmisch Outdoor

Recreation and the Mueller Fit-

ness Center team up to provide

a weekend festival just for

Outdoor Athletes and solo sports

enthusiasts, with the first Gar-

misch Summer Sports Festival.

This years’ events include:

The Cross-Country Challenge,

the 26th Fat Tire Spectacular

Mountain Bike Race, and IM-

COM’s first ever Mountain

Garmisch’s own, Mattias Mar-

tin, winner of many Strongman

competitions. For those not

familiar with this style of com-

petition, it consists of a variety

events to test the strength of

an individual. For the men,

these include an overhead

medley; consisting of an over-

head keg press, monster

dumbbells, a log press, and the

Apollo Axle, loading a platform

two (2) 220 lbs kegs and a 260

lbs ball, a car dead lift, the

Farmer’s Walk with 200 lbs in

each hand, and a timed tire flip

(600 lbs). The women tackle

the following events: 66 lbs

overhead log press, the

Farmer’s Walk with 66 lbs in

each hand, a timed tire flip

(300 lbs tire), and dead lift

using a 200 lbs tire axle.

At the end of the day’s competi-

tion there is a Victory Party,

bonfire, and with Live Music

performed by Chevy Nova.

On Sunday, we bike through

the countryside, that inspired

artists Wassily Kandisky and

Gabriele Münter, to Murnau to

the Griessbrau Brewery for a

tour, a beer tasting and dinner.

After which we will ride back in

comfort in the MWR fun-wagon.

some chronic or acute back

ailment. The practice of Yoga

can be helpful to diagnose disc

problems after the acute stage

has passed. The proper diet

and no smoking lifestyle which

are part of Yogic Lifestyle will

facilitate fast recovery and pre-

vention of osteoporosis and

herniated disc. Yoga Poses

(Asanas) can tone your back

muscles, make it more flexible,

alleviate pain and improve your

posture. Yoga lifestyle, Yoga

Poses combined with medical

attention can decrease the

debilitating power of back pain.

Trail running is as natural as

running could ever be. The first

people to pick up the pace and

start striding along did so not

on roads, tracks, or treadmills,

but on dirt paths, animal trails,

and in open meadows. While

running on trails, every step a

runner takes is potentially dif-

ferent because they have to

step around roots or rocks and

taking shorter steps to be able

to navigate therefore runners

will have a better running form.

From a purely physical stand-

point, you can build a lot more

strength on dirt and or on

grass as a lot the energy gets

absorbed by the ground and

you work harder running the

same distance while working

different muscles groups. Your

balance will improve as a re-

sult of trying to keep up your

pace despite navigating the

challenging terrain.

Runn ing in

beautiful scen-

ery will never

make you tired,

therefore get

out of the road

and run.

is looking for a Zumba® In-

structor. If you are interested

please contact the Mueller

How many times you got up

from bed with a back pain that

did not allow you to do your

favorite activities and made you

feel grumpy? Back pains can be

very annoying; however they are

highly preventable through exer-

cise. One of the most effective

types of exercises that can help

you with your back problems is

Yoga. This mild form of physical

activity can help in strengthen-

ing back muscles and skeletal

system. It can help in control-

ling and preventing the occur-

rence and re-occurrence of

back injuries which can lead to

hitting the road and taking you

to the source! Join us in experi-

try that has been celebrated by

artists for centuries.

Our trip includes a specially

prepared lunch in Peschiera,

Italy. You will also have plenty of

free time to explore Peschiera

on your own!

Tastes of Europe

The Opera Series includes four

operas and one ballet and our

very first opera – Richard

Strauss’s ―Rosenkavalier” is on

Saturday, October 29.

In both cases there is always a

standard charge for the trans-

portation to Munich by FMWR

bus and that is only $15.00. By

going on the bus you are

treated to opening remarks by

our music expert and guide

Paul Dutro.

You will have the chance to

have dinner in Munich and see

how lovely the city is in the eve-

ning before being driven safely

back to Garmisch. It is a great

opportunity to mingle with the

movers and shakers of Munich

Society!

Tickets for the different series

vary according to where the

seat is. Contact us to see if

there is anything available your

price range.

The Munich Concert and Opera Series Begins in the Fall! If you are a new community

member, have never experi-

enced classical music in a

beautiful venue, or if you are

already a fan but haven’t taken

the time yet while living here-

this program is for you!

In the Concert Series we will

travel by bus to Munich on six

different Tuesdays and enjoy

spectacular performances of

classical music in the Opera

House. The National theater is

absolutely striking.

Weekend Getaways

Prague

September 9-11, $300

Often on the top of everyone’s

list of places to visit in Europe.

Upon arrival Friday we’ll give

you an orientation tour of Pra-

gue and show you how to get

back to the hotel if you check

out the myriad of late night hot

spots the city is famous for.

Saturday we’ll give you a guided

walk through the city. Anyone

interested in opera? We can

arrange tickets. You’ll have free

time as well to lose yourself in

the heart of Bohemia.

Berlin—Columbus Day Weekend

October 7-10, Call for pricing

For many people the most excit-

ing city in Germany is Berlin!

Not only is it the capitol of the

country, it is the city that con-

stantly changes as it grows and

reinvents itself. There is a world

of historic sites – the Branden-

burg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie,

and the remains of the Berlin

Wall.

There is also a major art scene

with everything from old mas-

ters to contemporary artists as

well as interesting graffiti! The

History Museum is top notch

and it is only one of many his-

toric sites worth seeing. There

are three opera houses, the

Berlin Philharmonic, a myriad of

plays and the club scene has a

lot going on in terms of music

as well!

Thanksgiving in Paris

November 24-27, Call for pricing

Paris is the best Thanksgiving

destination mostly because

there is so much to see and this

is the longest holiday weekend

in the American calendar! In

the summer, Paris is too hot; in

the winter, it is too cold; in the

spring, it is too crowded.

Therefore, the best time is the

autumn! Ideally, we will have

three nearly full days in Paris.

Includes a tour of some of the

essential but less accessible

places on the first day, and

ensures that everyone is famil-

iar with the way the transporta-

tion system works. That leaves

one day for people to explore

the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay,

the Eiffel Tower, or many of

other sites Paris has to offer.

Your opera buff and tour guide,

Paul Dutro

Mmmmm…. Amarone!


The Werdenfels Best Kept Se-

cret ...The Weilheimer Hutte

August 13-14, $95 This summer Garmisch Outdoor

Recreation has been running a

Friday evening Torch Lit Hike

series. We’re capping off the

summer of fun with an over-

night hike to this location. The

Weilheimer Hutte, or Krot-

tenkopfhutte is tucked deep

inside the Esterbirg mountain.

It’s right in our backyard and

very few Americans go there.

The staff at ODR wanted to cap

off the series by taking some of

you up there. But.shhhhhhh,

promise you won’t tell anyone!

Conquer the Zugspitze!:

August 6-7 and September 10-

11 $149 At least once in your life, espe-

cially if you live here, you have

to do this hike. There is nothing

like standing on this peak and

kissing the cross. The Zug-

spitze has two glaciers, two

rivers that created the Partnach

and Hoelental gorges, numer-

ous springs, ponds, and 3600

foot cliffs on three sides!

Tom Sheaffer joined the Gar-

misch ODR staff a year ago.

This summer Tom became a

certified canoe instructor in

addition to leading a program

here for Wounded Warrior Pro-

ject Odyssey. Tom is a born

mountaineer and his easygoing

sense of humor and great men-

torship of youth during our Boy

Scout Camp Bayern programs

last week were great to see.

ing for ODR since the beginning

of this year. She was specifically

been busy coordinating wine

tours, zip line adventures and

more. Do you think there is

nothing to do in Garmisch?
