serenity

What better title, for a post not only combining two favourite themes - benches & sky watching - but showing at the same time the wonderful Austrian landscape, the one that really looks like the images in the postcards.
I always liked going countryside, and Austria is so generous from this point of view.
This is the beginning of the trip to Maltatal, but in the same time the final post about it. More beautiful places to come: we had a full week at the beginning of September!So I hope you are enjoying your sky watching from a really comfortable bench with a view!

Malta... Maltatal: land of waterfalls

On the way to the lake that I showed you before, there were the waterfalls. Mysterious, superb, calming. The water is magic. And the green forests around left us breathless. Yes, breathless in a sea of pure oxygen, breathless with amazement in front of the beauty.The Austrian federal land of Carinthia is the place of the old Celtic druids, and people there still believe in the great power of the mother nature. And with each step we took here we could do nothing but agree...

Malta... Maltatal

Yes, there is a Malta in Austria - the Maltatal. A magic place, I'd say, a valley of waterfalls and power places, of never ending forests, of mountain lakes where man and nature collide for the better. A place worth exploring by car, by bike, by foot. There is where I am going to take you for the next days. But in reverse: from the target of the journey, to its beginning.
So, today, the Koelnbrein dam. Impressive, but calm. One point on earth where you can feel how small you are, but yet fortunate to see such beauty.This trip was made by motorcycle during the annual European Bike Week @ Faak am See.
