That hill just got steeper and steeper until

I had to walk my bike up part of the way.

we stopped here at this attractive "Gasthaus"

for some lunch. The owner seemed pleased to try out a few words of english on me. This beautiful view on the right is just across the road from the restaurant, it wasn't all that far from town, but felt a little in the 'middle of nowhere' which gave us a nice sense of a mini day-vacation get away, and do-able with our bikes, (even if we cheated a little on the way out with the train!).
