22nd August 2011

We have a free gust card from our accommodation and we get lots of things free. The bus is free, all the cable cars are free, the trip up the valley to the reservoirs is free and also a free boat cruise on Zell am See. So that is what we opted to do today, the boat cruise and a look around Zell.

The peak in the background features in most postcards in this area. It is the Kitzsteinhorn and stands at 3203m.. Tomorrow our hike starts at the bottom of the glacier below the Kitzsteinhorn. The peak to the left of the Kitzsteinhorn, and  appearing to be a lot lower, is the Grossglockner, standing at 3797m and the highest mountain in Austria

Looking up to the Schmittenhohe chair lift station where we started our music hike yesterday.

There are some very classy joints here in Zell. The family Porsche ( the famous car manufacturing family) holiday in Zell.
