Day 6 - Traunsee to Bad Goisern

Traunsee to Bad Goisern

Today we continued the cycling tour, starting with a short cycle down to Ebensee again.  Here we caught a train to take us and the bikes to the far end of Hallstattersee lake.

Once off the train in Obertraun, we cycled to the Dachstein Krippenstein cable cars. At the top we did some walks to various view points on the mountain.
