I spent the last few days with Heidi in Alpl, which in the center a rather remote valley in upper styria named the „Waldheimat“ (ca. Home in the forests). They were not joking about the forests there. There really is forest, forest and forest (but no cellphone reception)
We stayed at a Wellness/Family hotel and enjoyed the calm, the clean air, the massages and the sauna. We did some walks (in the rain), picked wild berries and mushrooms. Perfect days to relax.
And today we finished off with a hike on top of the Raxalpe. (The images are from that trip) Great weather (not too hot, not too cold) and a great view (as far as the Neusiedler Lake and Hungary).
Weekend Activities: Walk in the Alps
Spent the weekend in Salzburg. First of all, to meet Lisl and Sameel with whom we had stayed in Brisbane. It was so nice to see them again. On Sunday we took the opportunity of fabulous sunny weather for a hike up the Nockstein near Salzburg with Heidi’s parents. We were rewarded with a beautiful panorama of the Northern Alps.This is one of the really nice things about Austria. Heidi and I renewed our vow to get out in the mountains more often.And we found mushrooms while walking. It has been a while since I found so many. That was a perfect dinner for five people.
