From the Alpl in Rosegger Waldheimat to the Hochwechsel, which is a 1743m high mountain in Styria.
We went, covered in thick blankets, in a horse coach through the winter landscape. My brother Günter and his wife Karin obviously enjoyed it and so did we. At one stage, up the hill, the poor horses slipped on an icy patch and we had to get out of the coach. We wondered if we had to push the horses on their bums hill upwards, but we did not. They were delighted when the heavy load was gone and sprinted up in a high speed, I thought I could see a happy grin on their faces that they got rid of us stupid tourists.
Karin tries to eat a huge Buchtel at the "Buchtelbar" in Wenigzell. A Buchtel is a fluffy pastry, filled with jam. The Buchtelbar is a famous restaurant, it is well known for it's excellent bakery and especially for the enormous size of the same.You can find more info about the Buchtelbar on their website: www.buchtelbar.at
We had a lovely time with my family. Thank you Karin and Günter!
