Today again a quiet day. So I drove/took public transport to the valley station of the Schmittenhöhebahn and then comfortably went up to the summit ⬆️

Afterwards, with bags and baggage, I went to the Sonnkogel-Alm.

I ate and drank deliciously and for the child there was a huge playground to let off steam 🤩
