Today is probably one of the days why we really went to Tyrol 🤣...
the mountain doctor...arriving at the Gruberhof on time, we had the choice of "that's probably it" or a little tour with the owner with a fruit brandy...we did it🥃, very interesting.

So today I made it to Oberndorf for the first time. My favorite rest spot was very nice, but Going and Oberndorf were still very icy in places, so it would be better to wait another week or two 😜. It's fine to Ellmau. The tree that's standing on its head is funny 😂

To the Schleier waterfall you have to walk about 400 meters uphill; It is worth it.
