Solden

Today I share with you last photos from my vacance in Alpes. This is Solden - small town in Austria near Rombo pass, but big ski center in winter. I saw also many ropeways working and we decided to lift to 3000 m. 

There was a little cold but the panorama was so beautiful you stop to breath!!!

 This is the first stage of descent, but we wasn't equiped for this... You can feed giddy...

We descent to next stop of ropeway at 2500m and here began our trip down in Solden.
Cows was everywere)

Some beautiful photos of nature

 There was so many wild raspberries that I never seen! I ate a lot)

The second trip in Solden was by car. It's famous Ötztaler Gletscherstraße - Ice road that raise on 2800m and lead to the gletchers.

You can also touch it!!! It's amazing feeling when you touch the gletcher that has thousands of years!

Krimml waterfall

One of the places we visited was famous waterfall near Krimml in Austrtia. It's the higher waterfall in Europe - 380 meters ans consist of three stages. You can ascend the trail to the top- Along the trail made places to admire the waterfall. Some are so close to it that it pour spray from head to toe. 


This photo I made at the base. 

Just when you make out little figures of people in the photo, you can imagine the size and power of Krimml Fall. But on the photo it's only small part of it.When you ascend this rock near the base of waterfall, the power of wind is so high that you can not to stay on the feet. There are so many splatters that you become wet after a few seconds and noise of waterfall deafen you.
