Salzburg...13th July..

Well, it rained virtually all day.... as the forecast said it would do..
So a day writing, 'household' chores and looking after the car..

I waited as long as I could before travelling on the Untersberg cable car..


The weather was closing in onto but I took a gamble that the clouds would clear before the top..


'Where Eagles Dare' came to mind....
Leaving the bottom station and the rain, on the way up...

The car takes a sharp change in gradient reaching the mountain....

Through the cloud layer....

At the top station looking back...
 Finally, walking away from the station.. looking back towards Salzburg....






A little further up was a small cafe and cross... 



But the weather started to close in again... 

I expect that during the skiing season, this looks completely different.. and very busy. There are a number of runs on the side of the mountain; one that seems to go down to the bottom. For those living in Salzburg I can imagine that a hours drive from the centre opens up number of skiing centres but having one on your doorstep must be wonderful...
