Jen and Dave: Adventuring

Today was the holiday Corpus Christi, so most things were closed – a perfect excuse for a rest day. We did start by getting up and walking across town to watch Fronleichnam a procession to the church. We also checked out Haus der Berge, the visitor centre for the National Park with a rather modern and interesting interpretive section. And had a nap, and packed for the next two days. We’re off tomorrow to hike into Gotzenalm hut for a night. Assuming all goes to plan, please note that means no blog update tomorrow.

The procession included many banners and objects, a marching band, a choir, and many people in tracht. Modern touches included speakers carried on poles that were connected wirelessly to the microphone. The route was also decorated with hangings and green branches, and “station alters” festooned with candles and flowers.
