Distance cycled: 38km
Woke up to a beautiful clear day today – no rain in sight thank goodness! Had managed to get all our clothes dry overnight by cranking up the heating to the max – our room was like a sauna, but it did the trick.
Today we cycled from Gmunden to Lambach following the River Traum Cycle Path – as you will see from the pics it was a gorgeous path, but had its challenges for a fully loaded tandem …
Once in Lambach we took the train to Linz – thereby avoiding traffic coming into the city. Linz is the capital of upper Austria. Quite a mix of old and new. Of course this was our first glimpse of the Danube – which we will be following all the way to Budapest. it is a huge river, moving at speed – lots of water traffic. walked the first bit of the track we will be riding tomorrow – very windy down near the river- we will need our winter woolies – but forecast is good 16 and sunny.
Have a 70km ride ahead of us tomorrow, so may not get to post until the following day – depending on Internet availability (and fatigue).
