First impressions of Austria

We drove for about an hour through a flat lush green valley floor encased between two mountain ranges either side. Then leaving the bottom of the valley we ascend up steep winding roads following the path of a fast flowing river to reach our park up at the edge of a small town next to a saw mill.
Austria so far is a beautiful, manicured country, pretty towns comprising of pristine chalet cottages, balconies bedecked with flowers, all built from wood, sat on wooden stilts perched atop perfectly mown grass lawns on the steep slopes of mountains. It all looks so posh and so perfect. An Austrian stereotype I didn’t believe actually existed in real life… but it does!
We park for the night in a nice and level tarmac car park, overlooked by the perfect wooden toy town Heidi style cottages on the hillside above us. We slept really well, drifting off to the white noise emanating from yet another rapidly flowing river close by.Meer informatie
