Puchberg am Schneeberg

Today's hike was amazing in all. We took an hour and a half train outside Vienna to Puchberg am Schneeberg which was on the eastern border of the Viennese Alps. The mountain we hiked was the highest mountain in lower Austria (just realized that after the fact 😂 - 2650m). We hiked about 21 km with 1200m of elevation (again only realizing this after we had already done it 😂). At the top it was SO windy! Craziness and lots of laughs. Then, on the way back down, we stopped at the mountain restaurant and got one of the best apple struddles I've ever had and a warm hot chocolate (everything was wet and the wind really sealed the deal). It was so yummy omg. We also had an Austrian cake and another strudel filled with a cream cheese mix. Also delicious. Finally, the hut also had a mountain dog 🥰 my heart ❤️

Overall, probably the most unprepared I've been for a hike but was soso great and had a blast. Would do it all over again and shared so many laughs.

(Context: the guy was 19 and from Germany. He had breakfast with us and we invited him to join. Nice to have an extra person and some new stories to hear but I think by the end of the day we were okay to go out separate ways 😂😬)Weiterlesen
