Climb Every Mountain , Forge Every Stream

A group of fairly fit "walkers" started up the mountain behind our resort for an easy 1 1/2 hour hike. Needless to say that was only one way and at this point we are half way and it has already taken almost 1 hour.This is our first rest stop, drinking the clear stream water with the local cattle. We left at 10:30 AM and back around 3:30 PM...not that easy!
The views in this area are unbelievable as I think Austria is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. This is Sankt Johann from the mountain side.
In winter they actually sled down the mountainside. Can you imagine this little wooden sleigh holding one of us?
Liechtensteinklamm Gorge is full from all the rain and is spectacular to climb through. The whole trip takes about two hrs of hiking through the gorge.
Of course with all the rain the waterfalls are spectacular. This one is near Huttenberg National Park.

We feel that we have followed every rainbow and our dream as we soon come to the end of our year adventure.
