The not-in-operation cable car to the lookout. Greg was NOT happy.

Heli-logging - first the saw then move the downed tree. 🤯

Found a less-traveled road and it made all the difference.

Apparently Empress Sisi loved swans so the town always kept some around for her visit.

A miniscule portion of the Salzkammergut Soleweg route.

Lots of contraptions to keep falling things off the town.

Last day in Hallstatt

March 13 in Austria ⋅ 🌙 45 °F

After another sumptuous breakfast (I'm in love with the muesli/almond/raisin/yogurt concoction), then we walked to the "new" Hallstatt to find tranquility at a park peninsula. You can't take a bad picture in this place and we did some mutual picture-taking with some Turkish gentlemen. On the walk back we ended up being fascinated with heli-logging this helicopter was doing on one of the steep slopes above the town.

Wendy went for a hike above the town...as much as she could because they closed a bunch of trails because it's "Winter" (it's not - people were in shorts and t-shirts). Grrrrr.

Lovely fancy dinner and a star-lit evening walk one more time around town.Read more
