29th August 2011

I left home with a cold and I just can't shake it. Not feeling great so I have decided to lay low for a while and see how it goes. We are at our apartment at Ebbs for 2 weeks so we might just do a few smaller hikes and do some sight-seeing.

This is the farm house where we have our apartment. We have the entire top floor. Very nice and very big. It is just outside the village of Ebbs, within walking distance.

The building to the left is the barn that houses the owner's dairy cattle. All the dairy farms here have huge barns. The cattle are brought in from the pastures each night, they are then milked and fed and spend the night indoors.

                                  The Zahmer Kaiser mountains that we can see from our balcony

Our neighbouring castle that we can also see from our balcony. The paddocks in between are for the famous Haflinger Horse stud where we are able to watch all the daily activities with the horses. Quite interesting really.

                                We came across this beauty on a creek that runs into the river Inn.
