| In 2001, We so enjoyed the Salzkammergut Lake District during the Sound of Music BusTour...that we took an afternoon and toured the area by car. Don't miss the Luge Rides! The kids and Rick returned to stay two nights in 2009 to really explore the area |
| Our luge fun from 1990 |
| The Lake District |
| Although the pictures don't capture it....the lakes are pristine and clear. Like swimming in a pool |
| Bad Durnberg Salzbergwerke |
| Not only do you get to learn about why salt was so important and made this region wealthy...you get to dress in overalls, ride a train, go into a cave and slide down long wooden slides just like the miners of old. What is there not to like! |
| Wow! My first luge ride...very scary! I made sure I didn't go too fast. I got a nice view on the ride down. ---Brent, age 10 Not a Speed Demon |
I remember going down with Dad one or two times....then I wanted to go by myself. I wasn't strong enough to pull the brake, so I went zooming down the hill. It was fun! --Amanda, age 6 Speed Demon |
| The Salt Mines were a fun experience. We took a train down the mines and then slid down the slide to the deeper part of the mines. There they told us about the mines history And how the caves are closing in on themselves. --Brent, age 10 |
I remember going to the Salt Mines. The outfits were too big for me. And when we went down the slide...I fell off. ---Amanda, age 6 |
| You just have to try this. The Luge is a lot of fun...the views are incredible and the tracks are fast and fun! On road between Salzburg and Hallstatt...There is one near Fuschlsee and a larger one at Wolfgangsee |
