Dachstein

Right after i came home i got to see the most beautiful part about Austria: Mountains! Mum asked me if i wanna go up the Dachstein Südwand on Sunday, 31st. aaand me, pending a year now in flat New Jersey, was totally in for that! Sure! Along with us came my mum´s cousin´s son (my grand grand cousin??), my grandpa, my brother Reinhard and one of my mum´s friends Herta. She is like a 5th sister next to my mum´s 4 sisters .

(Herta is somewhere in the sun relaxing i think…)

Hehe the good thing is that there is a cable car bringing you up to the glacier and then you can hike up on a trail in the snow to a nice lovely hut and enjoy the view. And the view is really gorgous all along the way and its so much fun to shoot snowballs at each other while hiking!! Unfortunately the two boys united and i got a lot of snow, also in my neck and clothes – but it was a warm day anyway.

I wore my Princeton University sweater on purpose to have a pic with it on an Austrian mountain and here we go.. it makes me look like a tourist but at this day i felt like one anyway :

I think especially the last one looks like how everybody imagines Austria… cows, mountain, green meadows..

afterwards we went to an Austrian hut close by and I had good Käsespätzle! Yum Yum Yum! It was a great day!!
