I travelled to Germany a few days after my parents, brother and sister, so the camper trailer (caravan) and tents had already been set up when I arrived. A 9.5-hour train ride took me to Passau (on the German-Austrian border, 70 km south of the camp ground), where the other four were waiting for me.

Our first trip took us to the Großer Arber mountain, where we took a cable car to the top.
