One of my first days working me and the pharmacist took a walk up to a small chapel to get a better look at the lake. I also got a picture of the village maypole, which the single men errect new every two years. It use to be a good time for the singles to get together, but also displays the crafts and trades done in the village.
The chapel is on a hill
and looks down onto the lake and a church (which I think is St. Sixtus's) and to me, appears to be a smaller version of said church. 
This walk was nice, not to rigorous and it was worth it for the view. Too bad the chapel was not open to view inside.

A few days later we got some snow. I found some time to steal away from the pharmacy and get some morning pictures while the sky was blue AND the snow was still there:
Later the same day me and the pharmacist up to another good viewing spot. This one was a hike for me, but good for eating more sweets, which we also got on the way back down. There is a memorial to a painter, though I don't remember who and I was not familiar with. I was told that in the past this area and vantage point were a meeting point for the Nazis, and that today they have a problem with neo-nazis going up to it and "causing trouble," though I did not inquire as to what this means. When we got there it was obivous that it is a bit of party spot, with beer bottles and a makeshift firepit. Still, the view was great:
On the way down, we passed some traditional homes (most are traditional, just not all are old, this one was old) as well as a cool tree being trained to grow up a wall. We also stopped into the bakery.
