Driving into the Austrian Alps
Our Apartment for the weekend
Dinner- a mix of odds and ends, stores were closed by the time we rolled into town.
Luckily we travel with PB & Honey, fruits and bagels
Morning Fog
Who wants to go hike a Mountain?? We do!!!
Cadens already protesting the uphill hiking and we just started!
Not really~ I have no idea what shes doing though????
Ice Cave - "Eishohle"
Lowest point of the cave
Can you see how big that pile of ice is compared to the people on the left!
Going up another set of Gondolas.
3rd Gondola~ we didnt take that one, it went back down the other side of the mountain.
SNOW..... in July!!!
Glacier
Hiking down the hill.
View- Hallstatt is off to the left of the lake.
5 fingers viewpoint

SNOW!!!!
Brown Squishy Snow...
Another parasailer.
Hike food! Gunner said it was perfect!
Back in Hallstatt.
ok - now she's complaining.
We were trying to find something and walked and
walked back and forth. She was tired after hiking the mountain.
very tiny house
Gunner liked this Hotel because it was almost like his name!
Found what we were looking for!
This church only had a few graves, so the used to clean out the graves. Now more people choose cremation so they don't have the same space issues as they did in the past.
When they cleaned out a grave they stored the bones in an ossuary.
They would paint the name of the person
and the dates on the skull and then decorate it
with symbols that represented that person.
Each type of leafe, flower, type of cross represented something different.
Wish I had photographed the info paper they gave us while we were in there.
Dinner
