At first, still on the austrian side of the border, I passed the continental north/south divide - ca 750 m over sealevel. Then I crossed the border and came into the former iron curtain corridor. I was surprised to find a so empty landscape in central Europe. Most of it open range.There was absolutely nothing! And nobody! The trail was comforting well marked, though, to my relieve. In the small town of  Vissy Brod, upon Moldau, I met on  civilisation again. As I headed home, towards the border, this time through forestcovered hills, - again, NOBODY except me. Glad I didn't have a flat - or something worse.......... It was a beatyful forest, with small rivers, some snow and ice (had to push and drag the bike a couple of time, only short passages), the sun shining through the trees. One could have expected little Red Hood and a wolve behind any turn. Or a unicorn. Or a bear and robber. Huh!

As I came back into Austria the houses and farms were within sightdistance, from each other, again.

Back to the hotel I managed to catch some sunrays, for my belly, on the sundeck, before the sun disappeared behind the treetops and I disappeard into the sauna.

Tonight I'll have turkey in curry, for supper. I'm hungry!
