Salzburg to Deutchlandsberg

Today ride included some of the highest mountains in the Alps and definitely the highest mountains in Austria. Riding the challenging mountain twisties once again gave me fits. Late afternoon we reach a 16th century hilltop castle in Deutchlandsberg.

Riding in the Alps was a mixed blessing for me.  I've gotten too old for all of those "switchbacks" which were on narrow roads in often dense forest.  I rode so slow that I worried that I was holding up the others.  It was not like riding solo.  The beauty of the Alps was amazing!
