Started the day touring a salt mine. Turns out it is the largest active salt mine in Austria, and they have a lot of salt mines. This particular one was also used to store art treasures the Nazis had "collected" during WW2 to keep them safe from Allied bombing. Very interesting and fun. The picture is a chapel the miners had. The light is just ordinary light bulbs behind blocks of salt.
Then a hike from Gössl, on Grundlsee, to Toplitzsee (thanks Brooke, for the suggestion). Lovely-- felt like a rain forest though fortunately not actively raining. Then a wander around Bad Aussee. How do that many dirndle shops stay in business! And another hike, this time to a waterfall up the hill (mountain) from our pension.
Dinner today around 2pm. Some kind of roast pork and beef liver. Both good, but not exceptional.
