H.F.F in the "Free State of Bavaria"

Entering the Zugspitze from the Austrian side, you will not simlpy arrive in Germany, but in the Free State of Bavaria. (Bavaria is of course a part of the Federal Republic of Germany. But a very special one - with it's own dialect and own traditions. With this knowledge in mind, the danger notice has some double entendre: "Be carefully! Alpine Terrain. Descent for mountaineers only. Danger of falling.")

Wenn man die Zugspitze von der österreichischen Seite her betritt, kommt man an dieser Treppe vorbei, die ins offene Gelände hinunter führt. Man mag schmunzeln ob der Doppeldeutigkeit der beiden Schilder nebenbeinander.
