37 euros or free with KC it's a road climb to 1700 m then swing chair up to 2200 m. It's in the way of Salzburg and a lovely road after this there.
Park in P3 and walk up through.
It got blowier here than all the others.
Check times and days it opens.
Lovely for young kids at the top...
Having passed it a couple of times we decided it was worthy.
Parking is to the left of museum and french style parking advisable.
There is a 22 minute intro video in english which to our non motoring interested minds it was enlightening
Lots of Porsche parafanalia for sale. 50 euros for a...
Absolute rubbish.
Got to the door it said go to cafe. Went to cafe it she said just present your card.
Went in. Took photo came out.
It was on our way and we had passed it a number of times and it was next to a Spar which had an offer on for lunch which saved us over a euro from the day...
Hot day so boat trip round the lake with a bit of breeze seemed ideal. We had the timetable and know it lands at a jetty about 100 yards from the campsite but timings were not great.
Set off on motorbike for Millstatt then we were at the jetty for 0950.
We noted 3 coaches parked up and on...
A museum in Millstatt which happened to be in the way of where we parked the motorbike and where you get on the boat for a cruise.
Everything was in German but each room did have (if they were returned) a translation which I have up on extremely early when "son of christ" was the first thing to...
A very warm day today so cable car required to rise up for lesser temperatures.
Not the nearest one to us but it was on a pleasant fast road..... so we thought.
We passed the Nockemsteaße and carried on to see a 23% incline.
No problem thinks as we have done 18% up the Vrsic pass. Surely our...
We waited til it was a stiflingly hot day to do this 40.50 euro ride or free with KC.
We should have read better.
Ski season goes on til June 16th here. That means the ski lift that takes you to 3150m is working.
We hadnt had the weather to do that before so only got to 2800 m.
The road up...
Because we were staying nearby this was always a secondary hit.
But we both sort of fancied it. Something about growing up with Ralph Macchios teacher looking after his bonsai tree.
It's a fair bit up the hill from Seeboden, further than we thought but not a problem for a motorbike but you...
Just off the Malta High Alpine Road and 1000m from the archery is a free (no KC required) gorge type walk up the side of a river with a series of quite impressive waterfalls.
There is ample parking and a small picnic table then you can see the first one and it is wheelchair accessible but after...
Just off the Malta high alpine road is this left field archery course where you are given a bow and arrow, a quiver and brief instructions and off onto the course you go.
A bit of history about me is I was once a fully qualified archery coach. Where I worked had naturist nights every couple of...
Up the road from Spittal and turn off at Gmünd and follow the road up.
It gets to a toll where it is 24 euros or free with KC
You get a sticker to go on your vehicle as well.
It says no motorhomes, however we saw a PVC and a 6.5 m low profile at the top as well as motorhome parking signs but...
We had our eyes on this road for a fair bit. It is in the top 15 of Austria's most visited places which is pretty something considering all the attractions in Salzburg Vienna Innsbruck etc.
That many motorcyclists can't be wrong.
The route is 34 km long with 23 euros entry fee or free with a...
Having successfully scaled the Eastern face of the mountain we decided the North Face needed conquering and went up the cable car which is 28.50 or free with KC.
Shed loads of free parking at the bottom and telecabins with unscratched Perspex and apparently new upholstery making these the...
We did this road almost 6 years to the day ago.
From memory these hills are the "Sound of Music"hills which are alive.
Unfortunately some severely bad map reading prior to leaving nearly took us back to Villach but we got there.
Today started off sunny, got overcast whilst we were out but...
We looked at this wildlife park and thought it might be a bit of a con.
The photos make the wildlife look real but they are stuffed animals but we thought it would be worth a go.
As soon as we got there a massive chicken appears up the hill
Then you go into the museums of stuffed presented...
Miserable weather yet again today so a nearby cable car was deemed the best option as we may get above clouds was our thinking and the webcams of early morning only enhanced this cunning plan.
We saw a cloud coming so set off away from it as it would have no hope, in my mind, of catching up...
This is our 4th Gorge walk and they are all excellent. This one, however, comes equal top with the unpronounceable T gorge.
We weren't going to do this today as the cable car was our intention but a schoolgirl error made us do plan B.
It's only about 6 KMs away from the other gorge
Signage is...
Having failed to go up the cable car we went to this museum in the vicinity in Mallnitz which is quite picturesque even on a full misty day and with a number of various aged 10-16 year old different coach trips visiting this educational establishment.
There's stuff about water with microscopes...
Miserable weather today broke about 0830 hrs after incessant rain overnight.
Local forecast then gave us 4 hours of no rain but plenty of cloud.
Decision made that if we could get here there is a paying sauna at the top, a swimming pool (free) with paying sauna at the bottom and a museum and...
A 22 euros KC freebie about 10 miles west of Spittal on the way back from a gorge.
Signposting was actually good from Austrian standards.
There are 2 trains and as one goes up the other comes down passing in the middle.
Trains WILL go on the hour and if 6 people are waiting they go on the...
More Journals from suavecarve
In the morning we are off in our new to us van a Dethleffs Trend A Class 7057 I EB which we picked up a couple of weeks ago and in between working 12 hour shifts managed to get 280 ah of lithium with a 3000 watt inverter, fridge fans, an alarm and tracker and pimp it out. Solar didnt arrive in...
Cadenet was in our way on the bike route.
We saw it as we headed to Cucuron yesterday but didn't strike us as a must see, but we stopped anyway.
We may have made a mistake in following signs to the town centre which is at the bottom of the hill. Because the main attraction is at the top of...
Following on from the Carinthia Throughnal the rest of our holiday is no where near Carinthia so I created another throughnal.
Starting from Salzburg where we are staying and visited we expect to follow the alpinestraße loosely to Constance and hopefully Rhine Falls then maybe crossing Alsace...
Having done a few journals and one "live" one and listened to the feedback that it is more preferential for most to enjoy a thread with interaction rather than page clicking, I am going to try the Thrournal, a thread and journal and better sounding than a Jouread which might make me sound a bit...
It is that time of year when we go on holiday and I do a journal. I call it a thrournal as I start with a journal and copy it into a thread. Hopefully others will do journals in the upcoming period as well. And the journal map is very helpful for holiday planning.
This holiday will be 28 days...

Intending to travel from around l'Orient down to as far as Ile de Re leaving on the overnight ferry from Newhaven on the night of 27th August.
In my signature you will find a couple of journals from this year, Bavaria and Languedoc, and some previous places I have added retrospectively under...
A collection of noteworthy previous stopovers and/or places we have visited worthy of consideration within France.
