We like to have a stay in a mountainous region once in a while- we see enough flat lands – so we planned a 10-day trip to Austria, to the most Western regions of Austria, that is said to be a nice place to have mountain walks – not too heavy – and normally good weather; from theer we would go to the Southern shores of the Bodensee – the county of Sankt Gallen in Switzerland.
Our stay in Austria was in the valley GrossWalsertal, at the campsite with the same name in Raggal Plazera. This vally is actually a nature reserve in some form: farming and forestry can be practiced, and tourism is limited – just two of three campsite in the whole area. Is means it is a quiet environment. Weather was fine; though all days started chilly and a bit misty at times, but during the day it was normally quite sunny and temperatures would go up pretty fast: clouds would build up, and in the later afternoon and early evenings, showers and thunderstorms would develop – and we had a few.
Second part we stayed at a campsite near a farm, about 5 kilometers from the lake, in the midst of orchards and meadows. For two days we made our way to the lake by car, walked a route along the shoreline (and more inland) and headed back by bus or train. The last day, we made a boat trip.
