Austria and smuggles the route to Italy<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have left the Balkans and have now come to Austria, actually we wanted to visit the Puch museum on the way home. But it's closed and we're in good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don't want to get home too early, so we take a look at the routes we have been given by Jesper Dybdahl and see if there is anything nearby that sounds attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Italian smuggler route sounds exciting. These are small roads through the mountains from Austria to Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n

It is a nice route with small winding roads and small bridges. In many places, there is only room for one car at a time, but there is not as much traffic now either. The inhabitants also do not look as if this is where most tourists come. We are causing a bit of a stir, fortunately in a good way. There is a smile and a nice greeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also come across creative city signs. Is there a good cycle route here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are working with felling trees in the mountains and they have set up a steel cable that can transport timber down the mountainside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small machine on the wire can carry two pieces of timber down the hall. The forest worker accepts them and cuts them a little more, he just removes the small branches that remain and then he sends the machine back up towards the top. Then it's time for 20 minutes on the eye until the next set of timber comes down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
