Sunday

When we were settling in to this apartment the loudest air raid siren I have ever heard started in the village below. After about 5 minutes fire engines and ambulances began racing across the valley so we presumed the emergency staff are retained and have to be called into service. Thankfully there haven't been any emergencies at night .......... yet.

We aimed to hike to a good height today to look over Zell Am See but the footpath signs disappeared about 2/3 of the way up and there were several choices of paths. We ended up choosing the wrong way and, despite climbing to a great height we didn't achieve the view of the lake we had hoped for.

On the way down we came across this - official paths blocked by barbed wire and cows so maybe the farmers have been 'disposing' of the signs we needed.
