During the summer months the scenery of the Salzkammergut (Austrian Lake District) is best appreciated by taking the ferry boats, not only because the lakeside roads can become congested during the peak season but also because the panoramic views of the lakes and the hills as seen from the ferry boats are amongst the best the region has to offer.
Aside from the three lakes pictured above, the lakes of Mondsee, Attersee, Fuschlsee and Ausseersee are serviced by a variety of ferry boats.
The Ausseersee ferry is notable as it is powered using solar energy; proof that it doesn't rain in the mountains all of the time!
The above mentioned lakes and surrounding villages are connected by bus and train services (or a combination of both).
Don't forget your camera!
How did 16,000 German fans from Cologne travel invisibly to London, fight on Oxford Street, then move on to the Emirates and continue fighting when it was known the ticket allocation was only 3000. What is Mrs Merkel's response?
ReplyDeleteI'm just catching up, but that sounds like a very good question especially one week before her re-election and 4th term.
DeleteWhat comes next quiz: Rotherham, Newcastle, . . . . . , (by the way nothing to do with football).
Ciao.
Very beautiful Gwil - as beautiful as our Lake District (and probably much better weather.)
ReplyDeleteIn recent years the weather here must have changed; the locals say it's not like the old days when it would rain without stop for days on end.
