Day 15- Seefeld to Salzburg

We set off this morning round the south end of Attersee, the surrounding mountains again gave the impression that there was no easy escape from the lake. We stopped for breakfast at Unterach am Attersee at a lovely wee bakery near the shore.  However, we almost had to leave half way through breakfast as the old geezer at the next table let out one of those sneaky wee farts that only a deaf octogenarian thinks they can possibly get away with!. Sandra almost wet herself with laughter, she couldn't look at me, I couldn't look at her,it was fantastic. you had to be there!



Anyway, we survived.  As it turned out there was an easy escape route through the mountains to Mondsee and yet again we had fantastic way marked cycle paths all the way to Salzburg, some of them through tunnels dedicated only to bikes.  ( this has confused Strava as it seems to think we went over the hills rather than through them)

The last six miles or so from Eugendorf to our campsite just outside Salzburg were fantastic, all downhill and well away from any traffic.

Salzburg is a great destination to finish the trip on with the backdrop of the Alps just beyond the pristine town ( although they do tend to beckon you further onwards).  We spent the afternoon having a wander round the castle and are now sheltering from a thunderstorm in the pub.  Tomorrow we plan to take a guided tour of the sights.

Today's miles 34 + 7 into town and back https://www.strava.com/activities/389760867
