Spontaneous stopover in Kufstein

We were happy to leave Rosenheim after doing some blogging since it is fairly full of cars and noise. The route was very simple with good cycle paths and the exciting prospect of the Alps ahead. We crossed over the border into Austria and soon saw our first 2000m mountains as we looked towards Kitzbühl. Very dramatic.

Flexible as we are, we decided to take half a day off and stay over night at this nice hillside lake in Kufstein, since the weather was so hot again - 34°. We got a little room overlooking the lake, which was much more romantic than staying in Wörgl (we think), which looks a bit like a motorway junction.

This is the view from our balcony:


We also had another light snack for dinner


... before a nocturnal dip in the lake, ahhh...

Distance today: Only 45 km. Hey, we're on holiday.
Total so far: 1095 km
