I love our (almost) yearly skiing holiday in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria, Germany. It’s one of my favourite places to holiday. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve visited Garmisch-Partenkirchen but I know I’ve had more skiing trips there than summer trips. I want my next visit to be a summer one though!

However, it’s a beautiful location at any time of the year. I don’t ski (not my thing). I go for snowy walks, watch the family skiing, drink Glühwein, read, and sometimes write. The mountain air is fresh and crispy cold, unlike the damp coldness we have in Ireland. And of course, the scenery is amazing.

I spent one morning walking around town taking photos of all the beautiful doors and buildings. I’ll never get bored looking at the buildings in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

I have no history to tell you about all of the doors because most of them are just dwelling houses and restaurants, and any history behind them is unknown to me! As I always say about every door; they could tell a tale or two!

I had no idea this was a library until I was back home and I translated the word ‘bucherei’.

This little house (below) is adorable. Although, it’s not so little at all. Cute door!

The restaurants have very heavy doors. All similar but rarely two the same.

My last door for today is quite unusual and in my favourite colour!

Thursday Doors is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favourite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world.

Thank you for visiting today! Before you go…

Would you like a peek inside the pages of my fictional novel? It might just be your cup of tea!

Set in a gossipy small town in Ireland at a time when marriage is for keeps and sexuality is repressed, Secrets in the Babby House is a family saga over three decades that starts in 1956. It is a story of love, deception, and stolen diaries filled with sins and secrets.
