As predicted, after yesterday's 🌧, today's 🌞 is shining. We chose a relaxing route, mostly along the lakeshore. We returned with the 🚂 - Regio ÖBB train. Afterwards, we cooled off 🏊‍♂️ in the lake before the evening🍽 began.
To round off the day, we heard echo bubbles🎺📯 from a "Fua" on the lake with the alpenglow. 😍

🚶‍♀️The Hallstadt East Bank Trail, with so many benches inviting you to enjoy the view and rest, it's almost impossible to move 😊. At the Maislinger bakery, we were treated to a delicious roll on the terrace after closing time in the evening 🌞. We returned with the 🚂.🚶‍♀️

In Obertraun there is only one coffee shop, otherwise everything else is closed. It's a shame for a holiday region that after a hike there is nowhere to stop except the outdoor pool. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Comfortable from Bad Goisern along the east bank to Obertraun to the end point of the SalzAlpenSteig. Then with the Zille to Hallstatt 🙂 and lazy about the afternoon.

September 22, 2024,Ostuferweg Hallstätter See von Steeg zum Halstatt Bahnhof, dort mit dem Boot nach Halstatt und wieder zurück

Beautiful hike along Lake Hallstatt. Parked at Steeg train station and from there the path is well signposted. We then took the boat to Halstatt (it was actually too strenuous for me and it was crowded, lots of very loud other tourists). It wasn't bad to walk the same route back because it looked different due to the different time …

Today we're heading straight from our accommodation "Wanderlust" (see photo) - our base during the hike: 3 minutes from Bad Goisern train station - very practical, as the respective daily destinations are all on the train line - highly recommended ( wanderlustboutiquerooms.com ).
First along the Traun again and then on the east bank path to Obertraun (pilgrim's stamp).
