So for our hike we walked down the valley a bit up higher on the hillside until the next town on the main road (and right before a ski hill! So many people were out skiing today!). Then we walked back to the car on the other side of the valley along a small river. The whole thing was really nice and we both really enjoyed it! I love hikes where I can just see the mountains the whole time! And the snow! Though lucky the path was mostly clear as it was pretty slippery when it wasn’t as lots of people had walked on it and it got slick.
After we got back to the car we headed down to the small Christmas market I enjoyed so much last year…and it wasn’t as nice as I had remember. It was fine, but we got there later and there were so many people and we didn’t end up staying long. I was glad we hadn’t made a special trip just for it! I did take some most photos of the small lake right there to compare to last year (we were trying to figure out of there was more snow this year and I’m not sure. It was colder as there was snow and ice on the lake, but it had just snowed last year so it was all fresh and white). Then off to our place in Bad Goisern (the last photo is from near where we are staying). Tomorrow night is the big Krampus adventure so we are going to take a short hike from here and see what we see and then relax until Krampus time! Should be fun! I hope the weather is as good as it was today!!Read more
