Temperatures plummeted overnight and we set off the next day towards Innsbruck in gale force winds and heavy rain. With the Brenner pass ahead (although now the Brenner motorway) it did cross our minds to abandon and spend another night at Garda. Anyhow we pressed ahead and the weather gradually got worse until we hit Blizzard conditions across the Austrian border. We then made the decision to head straight to Munich and skip the overnighter at Innsbruck.

The direct route from Innsbruck would have been to exit the motorway at Jenbach and head north to Tegernsee. We weren’t sure about how accessible these roads would be in the prevailing weather conditions so we took the autobahn all the way around Tegernsee as far as Holzkirchen and then dropped down to Tegernsee.

We did drive the direct route later in the week and it would not have posed any problems for us.

Arrival at Tegernsee near Munich was late afternoon and Camping Wallberg.

After so much rain, much of the campsite was rather boggy and wet so it was difficult to find a decent pitch on the grass places.
