EUROPE - 2019 - DAY 42

DAY 42 - JULY 22 - BRANNENBURG to SALZBURG

This was my last day in Bavaria as I passed into Austria (again), and again there was very little travel on regular roads, mostly paved paths. A little warm and humid (reminded me of Pennsylvania), with some nice scenery.

The last picture is Casino Salzburg, that I just happened to pass on the way to my B & B. It looked pretty upscale and I'm sure they have a dress code, and would not have appreciated my bicycle togs. Next trip.

EUROPE - 2019 - DAY 40

DAY 40 - JULY 20 - OBERAU to BRANNENBURG

It was another beautiful, but not easy day, through Bavaria's farmlands, forests, and nice little towns on mostly traffic free paved paths. In fact, only about 6 miles on regular roadways (until I got lost, near the very end).

One of the highlights was my visit up the cobbled main road of Bad Tolz. The artistic buildings lining the street just had me staring in wonder. More info here;

One unusual thing happened. I actually had a reservation in the tiny village of Litzldorf. Apparently they made a mistake on the day and there was no room at the inn! The proprietress not only got me another hotel, but paid me the difference in price, and served me a beer in the garden restaurant while I waited. 

Hence I ended up in the nice town of Brannenburg, which was about 6 kilometers away. The next day was forecast for rain, which it did most of the morning, so Day 41 became a rest day.
