Our second overseas travel during COVID begins in a few days as we travel to Salzburg, Austria to begin a trek though lake region named the Salzkammergut, meaning “salt domaine”. After a stop in picturesque, Salzburg, we will continue to the lake’s region with daily hikes.
After many months of training, separated by 500 miles, we will be joined by our traveling companions, from Cape Cod. We hope they bring us good luck and a strong knowledge of the German language!
We will be stopping for a few nights along the route, staying in St. Wolfgang, Bad Ischl, Bad Goisern, and ending in the lake town of Strobl. Parts of this region are designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and considered by Austrians as the crown jewel of Austria.
This will probably be a shorter travel blog that our usual, due to fact that we are hiking and not sightseeing. A new way to visit a country as travelers and not tourists!
With daypacks, hiking boots, layers of clothing and unfortunately, umbrellas, we hope to see wildflowers in bloom, charming lakeside villages and views that will last with us forever.
