Hallstatt, Austria #Day61

Happy Halloweeeen!
Breakfast with a view~
This morning we drove about half way up a mountain to a place called 'Eagles nest', to check out the view~
Then we drove to Austria's best kept secret~ Hallstatt.
Named the most beautiful lake side town in the world~
I 100% agree!
Perfect weather~
Lanterns~
It was so sunny it was hard to capture just how incredible this place is!~ 

Then we set off on our next mission which was to find the medow where Julie Andrews sang 'The Hills are Alive' in 'The Sound of Music'! 
Unfortunatley we failed with two locations, getting close with the second even crossing the boarder back over to Germany! But we had to head back as it was getting late :/

We did see 'Palace Leopold' where the boat scene was filmed!~

Now we are in Salzburg tonight so we can explore the city again tomorrow :)

Ruhpolding, Germany #Day60

This morning we went to drive up a mountain called 'Brauneck' but the car couldn't quite make it up on the gravel ...hah so we turned back and went into the town 'Bad Tölz'! 
Bad Tölz~

As we didn't make it into the mountains this morning we decided to go up a cable car just down the road from where we are staying in 'Ruhpolding'~
Best descion ever. 
~
As it was a super foggy day again, we weren't quite sure what to expect. 
At one point on the steep incline upwards we were completely surrounded by fog~ white everywhere~
And then we were above the clouds.
Amazing.
Once at the top there was a perfect view point over the clouds~ 
And you could explore the walking tracks before heading back down again~
Heaven.
Sunset~
