Day 7: Warth - Erding
We had to leave Warth and beautiful Jägeralpe. Our last riding day started with rain. But nothing can destroy the good mood of this group. Plansee and Linderhof were the highlights of the day.
last coffee stop at Plansee
"J" is enjoying his "Schnitzel" - it doesn`t suck
Day 6: Pontresina - Warth (Austria)
Leaving the German speaking part of Switzerland we cross the Albula pass to get to the north, to the River Rhine Valley. Before we come to Austria, we pass through our fifth country on this trip, the principality of Liechtenstein. It is one of the smallest countries in the world.
We ride through its little capital Vaduz. Furkajoch and Hochtannbergpass are the passes no. 2 and 3 on this day. The Jägeralpe in Warth welcomes us with a big swimming pool, a sauna village and of course a beer.
what is it?
