I know I’ve said before I think this the most ugly resort in Austria, so I thought that it was time to give it another go and maybe forgive it! We did set off in hot weather, but I’m determined to get acclimatised this year and there was the most pleasant breeze. There were some stunning views as we went on the three sea round way.
But all the paths crossed under the ski lifts or over the ski runs., There were some tempting hills in the distance, but they were too far for a day’s hike.
There were so many people around – ok so it was a bank holiday weekend, but the paths were so worn that it was a bit like walking in the New forest where the paths are cut into the earth by the footfall. There was daft art sculptures on the path -but this was real!
But it was an ok walk, so I was ready to forgive, you get what you pay for. If you want plenty of huts, easy paths and aren’t worried about passing so many groups that you are ,’Grüss Gott’ed out, then fine. Now the path around the lake actually runs though the frontage of several hotels, the first one we went through was full, so we went and sat in the second, The girl who cleared seemed a bit bemused, then suddenly a head waitress came over and informed us they had shut at two and were closed. A restuarant closed on a back holiday afternoon? Null punkt Turacher Höhe yet again!
