It was a very short trip with a tight budget, we wish we could stay longer and explore more. I could say It was quite a spontaneous trip, it began with a small talk over a lunch, little did we know a week later we already packed our gears and things and ready to go. Before we finish our studies and going back for good we thought why not we take this opportunity to explore more of the Alps since we love natures #naturelovers. I had once visited Switzerland before but that doesn't leave a good impression on me, due to too little time and I was still figuring how all this travelling thing works, sadly I missed some of the best spot. (Sorry, It was my first time travelling!). However this time I can say it was 100x BETTER even though there are still more to see. Below are some of the pictures from the trip, which I think won't do justice to these amazing landscapes. You have to see it for yourself!
GERMANY
From Germany we rented a car in Duisburg and drove overnight heading South to Italy and Switzerland passed through Austria. The best thing about driving for yourself is you can stop anytime or anywhere you want. After around 7 hours of driving we arrived in Eibsee Lake the next morning just before sunrise. What a great way to start the trip, we were welcomed by these stunning views.

Later that day we proceed our journey to Dolomites area in Italy passed through Innsbruck Austria. To enter and use the highway in Austria you will need a vignette ( car sticker ) worth 8.7 EUR which valid for 10 days. You can buy this sticker at the petrol station on the highway near the border between Germany and Austria. The prices are higher for longer days validity.

SWITZERLAND
Next destination, Switzerland! In Switzerland you need to pay around 40 EUR to use their highway which valid for a year! (There's no option for shorter period )We managed to stop for a few locations before heading back to Germany. Switzerland is beautiful, I'm lost for words. Let the pictures speak for itself.

What better way to explore the Alps than drive for yourself and be close to nature? I'm glad we did. The moments will be cherish forever. Every seconds we were greeted by beautiful mountain views on our sides. Everywhere we look is a photo opportunity. I kept pinching myself just to make sure I'm not dreaming. Honestly I lost counts of times (which is a lot) we stopped for pictures. I guess we all agreed it was an amazing trip and cannot wait to plan for the next adventures. See you on next adventure!
