We had hoped to spend more time hiking in Austria but used up most of our time in Italy. The Austrian weather finally cooperated and we found ourselves in the tiny village of Leautasch at the base of the Wettersteingebirge (Weather stone mountains) not far from Seefeld. Many huts display a weather stone with helpful guidelines: When the stone is wet, it's raining. When it's white, it's snowing. When you can't see the stone, it's foggy. When it casts a shadow, it's sunny. When it's gone, there's a tornado., etc. We took the high trail and re-enacted scenes from "The Sound of Music."
Beautiful! Those goats would intimidate me, though. I don't even like to get that close in a petting zoo.
