Turns out that spending a few hours outside in the sun goes a long way toward resetting the internal clock. The day we arrived, we walked a loop from Steinebach am Woerthsee to Herrsching am Ammersee and back.
The signs below amused me. I suspect the first sign, posted on a fence bordering a private yard, was printed in Prussia, given the precise 120o angles between pooplets. In contrast, the Bavarian Nature Conservancy No-Dog-Poop signs show a dog that just take one solid asymmetric dump. Given that there was a pile of poop in the yard in front of the 120o symmetric pooplet sign, I conclude that Bavarian pooches don't understand Hoch Deutsch anti-poop signs.
Some views of the Ammersee...
Houses in rural Bavaria are often painted with imagery. The images below, from Hechendorf, were painted by the homeowner, who specializes in Lueftlmalerei ("diminutive-clouds painting").
Zooming in on this one shows local terrain: Schloss Seefeld in the foreground, the Ammersee and Kloster Andechs in the middleground, and the Zugspitze (Germany's tallest mountain) in the background.
