    • Day 3

      Auf geht's!

      June 7, 2022 in Austria ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

      Als wir heute aufwachen regnet und stürmt es immernoch. Wir sind dadurch doch etwas demotiviert. Beim Frühstück buchen wir uns und den Pferden eine warme und trockene Unterkunft. Dann raffen wir uns auf und packen unser Zeug. Beim Packen fällt auf, dass Aufis Klebeduplos schon wieder locker sind. Also nochmal notdürftig flicken. Gegen 13.30Uhr verlassen wir endlich den Hof. Wir sind etwas stolz uns überwunden zu haben. Da im Wald alle Wege matschig sind, laufen wir erstmal hauptsächlich Straße. Ziel ist die Salzach und dann bei Titmoning über die Grenze. Aber durch den Regen ist der Weg gesperrt und wir planen um über Burghausen. Als wir dann endlich in Österreich sind, wird tatsächlich auch das Wetter etwas besser. Zum Schluss finden wir sogar einen netten Waldweg auf dem wir lange traben können . Als wir aus dem Wald rauskommen können wir sie endlich sehen: Die Berge! ♥️
      Pferdehof Lasser beherbergt unsere Ponys und wir freuen uns auf die warme Dusche der Pension im Nachbarort.

      Burghausen Worlds Longest Castle

      August 11, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F

      About 20 minutes from Unterneukirchin is a very cool castle that we toured twice and today was the first day. We went with our nephew Trevor and Rachel. This castle dates all the way back to 200 BC as a Celtic fortification In the 1100's Henry the Lion was in possession of the Castle and starting in the 13th century the Dukes of lower Bavaria had control of it. The reason it is so long is the castle was built to protect travel of salt boats coming down the Salzatch River which runs through Salzburg. Salt was money in the Roman empire.
      Fun fact! George the Rich married a Polish princess in 1475 and the town below, Berghausen has celebrated this wedding every year since. Westin has attended this celebration and he said it is quite a crazy party... The party goers all dance on the tables and eventually end up falling off. I took many pictures of this town...It is beautiful with its pastel colored buildings and you go through a tunnel under buildings on either end of the town.
      That night all of the family and friends gathered and we were treated to a pre wedding Bavarian dinner. I finally ordered Schnitzel that night and it was excellent..
      Luke and Devan arrived from the US just in time for the dinner.

      Unterneukirchin

      August 9, 2023 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 59 °F

      We arrived in Unterneukirchin (about 1 hr from Salzburg) which is where the wedding will be held. Gorgeous green farm country all the way from Salzburg.
      Many crops are being grown so there are lots of tractors, cows and chickens. Today was rainy (again!) This was a prep day for Westin and Marina. I rode around with Marina and Robin in the morning. Marina had a lot of errands to run... pick up her dress, the rings, etc... In the afternoon we helped at the barn with some set up details for the wedding and we met Alex, Marinas sister. We ate dinner at Raspl's which we found out quickly is excellent so you better have a reservation! We loved the dark beer served very cold. I also love that Germans live their gin and there is an entirr Gin cocktail menu here with all kinds of different Gin. The Hotel Traumschmiede was great! Comfortable, stylish, super accommodating, price is right. It was so convenient to stay there and the restaurant is right there as well. We loved what was on the walls in the bathrooms at the restaurant and funniest part is the guy I got in one of the photos. lol!Read more

      Wedding Day!

      August 12, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F

      We made a quick trip back to the long Castle because Luke and Devan had not seen it yet. This time we went down into Bergenhausen and walked around a bit. I was enamored once again with all of the cool doors and and these pastel colored buildings.
      The castle was less crowded this morning so it was nice to see it that way. We came back and got ready and jumped on the shuttle at 1:00 sharp to head to the wedding..
      What a beautiful and fun celebration it was!
      It was a gorgeous, sunny and very hot day.. The wedding was held in a very cool old barn. The bride and the groom both looked radiant and it was a thrill to be there with all of the Bavarian neighbors, friends and relatives who came to their celebration. There was a good representation of those of us from the US as well! Dan officiated the ceremony and it was very touching. Westin gave his vows to Marina in German, and Marina gave her vows to Westin in English. It was the most romantic wedding I've seen. After the official ceremony there were party games and guessing games with facts about the bride and the groom. We all enjoyed a great dinner in the barn with fire roasted trout, wienerschnitzel and German spatzle. And sides. One of Westin's neighbors made a wedding cake that was chocolate apricot and it took her 2 days to make it. It was probably the best tasting cake I've ever had. There was also a potpourri of homemade cakes in addition to the wedding cake that filled a table. German beer and merriment were had by all. Then the band, two brothers and three others took the stage and played a variety of Austrian rock, American rock, hard rock,nd German folk songs . We danced as much as we could given the heat in the barn. Marina's mother dance the whole night, I don't think she ever sat down. It got so hot that Kristy jumped into the kids pool and drank beer from a snorkel. The band loved the wedding guests and had to be asked to stop playing at 1:30 in the morning.

      Burghausen Castle

      May 25, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Luckily, we listened when Ty insisted we pull off the highway to check out a castle he'd spied through the trees. A helpful local couple standing next to us informed us that it's the longest castle complex in the world!!
      Then Char confirmed on Google that they were right! Over 1km long, it is the longest castle complex IN THE WORLD!

      Tittmoning

      September 2, 2022 in Austria ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Nachdem wir kurz einen Abstecher nach Österreich 🇦🇹 gemacht hatten um "billig" tanken ⛽, ging es wieder nach Germany um nebenbei noch ein wenig zu cachen. Tittmoning ist ein sehr schönes kleines Städtchen direkt an der Grenze.Read more

      Sarah & Peter: 1, Storm: 1

      May 19, 2017 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 10 °C

      1000km = chain change day! The "old" chains have become 5mm longer after around 77 hours of riding time so far. We plan to change them every 1000km to keep the level of wear and tear evened out rather than riding them into the ground.

      We were making good headway into our day's milage when the weather completely turned. It was a hot, breezy morning where even taking the tent down at 9am was a sweaty affair. Suncream on, passing children swimming in rivers.... we stopped to buy groceries for the night and in 15 minutes the sky was black and the wind was raging. We had heard in weather reports that a storm was expected in the late evening, so had hoped we'd make the campsite in time as we had successfully raced off the storm from last week.

      The wind got so strong it was literally buffeting the bikes sideways when riding on the road. With so much weight they aren't the easiest to handle in perfect conditions, let alone in rain and wind. Watching Peter wobble about infront of me was worrying and we still had 20km to go to the campsite.

      We decided to stop in the next village to look into Plan B..as if waiting for 2 weary bikepakers, we came across a huge glass bus shelter with comfy sofa seats! A good place to spend the next half hour exceeding our daily chocolate quota (on account of the emergency conditions!) And looking for accommodation options. Thankfully the cheapest was also the nearest. Seeing a plank of wood blow out of someones trailer, into the air and then into the road 30m behind was all the justification we needed not to cycle anymore and to seek a warm retreat!

      A few nights ago we were inthe woods listening to the night owls, today we have a stuffed one outside our room!! Arrhhhh!!

      So happy to not be out in that rain and wind tonight, regarless that the hotel looks like something from "The Shining"!

    • Day 2

      Austrija, Fukinga

      September 16, 2018 in Austria ⋅ 22 °C

      - Šodien Baltušam jāuzsāk ceļš. Pirmais dienas uzdevums - neaizmirst pirms iebraukšanas Čehijā un pēc tam Austrijā nopirkt vinjetes, kas maksā attiecīgi 10eur un 9eur uz nedēļu. Mums der. Jānis tiek ārā no Polijas un gandrīz cauri visai Čehijai, kur braucam caur Ostravu un Brno. Pie robežas mainījāmies.
      - Tālāk maršruts ved pa Vīnes apvedceļu Bavārijas virzienā. Tā kā viss iet raiti un veiksmīgi nolemjam uztaisīt 30min līkumu un aizbraukt uztaisīt selfiju Austrijas mazpilsētiņā ar tik zīmīgo nosaukumu - Fucking.
      - Vispār braukšana pa Austriju ir diezgan izaicinoša. Tikko nobrauc no lielajiem bāņiem tā sākas mazie miestiņi ik pēc pāris km, kas galīgi nav paredzēti ērtai braukšanai ar busiņu. Tā vien liekas, ka brīžiem ielas ir par 20cm platākas nekā mūsu Opelis.
      - Uztaisam selfiju sesiju pie pilsētiņas nosaukuma. Izmetam ar auto mazu loku pa miestiņu un griežam riņķī. Principā, kā jau vairums šī reģiona mazpilsētas - ļoti simpātiska.
      - Tā kā ceļš bija diezgan garš tad nolemjam iestiprināties, ja ne pusdienas, tad vismaz ar saldo un alu vai vīnu (tie kam nav jāstūrē) turpat blakus esošajā ciematā Holzoster.
      - Madara tiek pie pamatīgas biezpiena strūdeles, pārējie izvēlas vāciskus ēdienus (lai arī vēl esam Austrijā) - desas. Baltušam pirmā vilšanās. Pasūtījis alu un jau paspējis Instagram'ā ielikt pirmā aliņa postu. Bet pēc tam nākas secināt, ka tas bija radlers nevis alus - salda limonāde.
      - Visi nokopuši savus wurstus dodamies pēdējā šodienas braukšanas cēlienā. Cauri Zalcburgai uz Šonavu pie Kēnigzē.
