Starting today we have a few last days of hard rides, which will take us to (yikes!) the end of our road, Salzburg.

On the way out of town, a few last shots of the Z-spitze

Through more alpine meadows full of these, cow sheds?

We follow a road through the Bavarian state forest, following this river down, down, down out of the Alps

Back to the cute houses

Many of the houses we’ve seen are adorned with an elk rack, but this one’s OTT

No wonder there aren’t many elk left around here

Wild rhubarb

We are delayed getting to town due to bovine traffic

Tegersee, across the lake

After a stroll we determine that there is nothing to see in town (I suspect I’ve accidentally chosen the town where the… older set come to vacation.) So we choose a cafe by the lake within earshot of the open-air pops concert for dinner.

Trying to find something but pork, I’m back with German mac and cheese…
