• Bad Zell, Ruttenstein Fortress Ruins

    September 1, 2024 in Austria ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F

    After a lovely breakfast of garden veggies from my cousin Larry’s garden (tomatoes, zucchini, peppers) homemade yogurt and seven grain bread from an award winning baker as well as coffee we headed out for a walk around the farm. We also did laundry.
    By 12:40 we headed to Bad Zell for lunch at a pub. Lea and CJ had Viennese Schnitzel, Glyn had Cordon Bleu and Bill had turkey schnitzel with mozzarella baked into it. We then went to another side of the restaurant and there was a duck pin bowling alley and a door opening to the Erdstall caves- dug out sometime around 600-1000 years ago. No one knows the real use - maybe hiding from enemies or cold or war. We then hiked the ruins of the Ruttenstein Fortress -
    The weather is hot around 82 with little humidity.
    We stopped for beers and iced coffee and to rest at another cute pub! Life is good in Austria. 🇦🇹
