speak ‘High German’. One of the men has blond, curly hair and "piercing" blue eyes.

Kind of lets out 'refugees' as the culprits.

High German?

Highland or Alpine as opposed to lowland or coastal 'Low German'. Like the difference between Yankee and Southern English. Or, perhaps Oxford and Southern English.

Hoch Deutsch, a.k.a. High / Northern / Proper German, as opposed to Platz Deutsch, a.k.a. Low / Southern / Low class German. Approximately.

High German???????

What they mean is these people spoke, "proper, formal," German. A Swiss dialect called, "Schweizerdeutsch," is unintelligible to most German speakers.

Gee willikers...doesn't anyone know how to defend themselves anymore? Or think beyond the end of their noses?

I would have come down from that hike with a nice freshly made club in hand. I'll bet the biker jerks would have moved off real quick.

Sounds like an infamous San Francisco critical mass bike event. Minus the “mass”.

Hoch Deutsch is spoken in Northern Germany, I.e. Hamburg. I spent the summer of 79 at the German AA range at Todendorf. It didn't take long for me to shift from the Hunsrucker dialect in the Eifel region (Trier/Mosel). That dialect is very forgiving compared to Hoch Deutsch.

It was one of the best summers of my life, hard to think of one that tops it.

I have noticed this attitude everywhere. Never dare question anyone’s choices about anything, anywhere, anytime. They will turn and strike like a rattlesnake.

My little theory about the origin of this is that it grows in the absence of an acknowledgment of God. If I see myself as God, then for you to question my behavior is to invalidate my existence. Every choice I make, including rudeness, is Holy and must not be questioned!

I’m just wondering why they shouted for him to slow down in the first place?

Slow one gets out of the way is usually trail courtesy.
