Day 6 – Leaving the Czech Republic we pass into Austria once again. The Salzkammergut is an area known for its tall pointed peaks and picture-perfect lakes. It provided for great riding on twisty roads over high passes. Unfortunately, I've discovered that what little skill I used to have in dealing with mountain twisties, and switchbacks, I no longer have. I tried not to be concerned about riding so slowly (not wanting the other riders to be slowed) but the hairpin turns really got to me. Thank God there was little traffic (mostly bicyclists and motor bikers). The Alps were breathtaking. Truly beautiful.
The two photos below are Internet Photos. Even though I now have my camera, sadly it began to malfunction. (maybe too much vibration?
Salzburg and its castle. Many only know of this beautiful city in connection with the movie "Sound of Music". Our evening tour of the central old city was wonderful.
