On Thursday 31st May we drove west along the southern side of the High Tatras and got some good views at last!
Later that day we visited Ovransky Castle - very impressive indeed. We spent the night in the castle car park.
On Friday 1st June the weather was very wet so we came quite a long way - west through Slovakia, then north briefly into the Czech Republic and finallly into north east Austria where we found this really beautiful parking spot by a lake at Bernhordstal where the sun finally came out before it got dark and we settled down for the night.
On Saturday 2nd June we continued west through Austria to Eggenburg which is a nice little town with walls and this interesting town square. There was supposed to be a motocycle museum here but we couldn't find it.
We did however see this very nice 1950's Beemer parked in town!
We stayed the night on the Eggenburg Municipal Aire which was very well equipped for vans.
On Sunday 3rd June we travelled west to the Danube at Brandstatt where we parked for the night. The river is very wide here and flowing very fast with many large boats passing.
Like this one. Sorry for the blurred photo - poor light!
On Monday 4th June we moved over the border into Germany, to Berchtesgaden (where Hitler used to have his holiday cottage). It was another very wet day and we didn't see too much of the mountains.
We went for a walk in the wild, wet woods.
Today Tuesday 5th June was much better weather - we could see the mountains and we travelled south west back into Austria.
Tonight we are staying at the municipal aire at the town of Schwaz just east of Innsbruck. Very nice alpine town as you'll see from this street scene.
