zwölferhorn, 1521m (st. gilgen, wolfgangsee, austria)

we are still at lake wolfgngsee in st. gilgen, you know? today we have had great great time and beautiful weather at zwoelferhorn (zwölferhorn), the 1521 meter high hill above st. gilgen ...

crazy bavarian tourists in the austrian hills aka going down hill the bavarian style ~ so easy :o)

silvester at lake wolfgangsee (austria)

well, our children are big enough and prefer to spend sylvester with their friend, so the best of all wives + me decided to spend few days at the beautiful lake wolfgangsee in the salzkammergut region of austria. we haven't been here before and just knew the former german chancellor helmut kohl used to spend here his summer holidays every year, so let's give the area a try :-)

even if i was booking very late, we've got a small nice hotel in st. gilgen (sankt gilgen). it looks both from outside and from inside like a gingerbread house, so we feel like hansel and gretel :-)
