Osttirol

Hello!

I hope all is well. That is lovely to hear. This next post is focusing on Osttirol. For those unaware of where that is, it is situated along the border between Italy and Austria, just above Südtirol. I have probably mentioned it before in a previous post, but this is where you have the view over the Italian Dolomites (which in itself is not half bad).

I like Osttirol in particular due to it not being particularly popular with tourists, like you would get in Südtirol. On my journeys I have been to Südtirol once and Osttirol twice and, although they are both very nice, Osttirol has the better walks and views (food would probably need more convincing). The following photos were taken on our first visit to Osttirol. The best thing about it is that you could rent an alpine hut for a week and then just head off - ten minutes in the car and your there. You get there at 8 o'clock in the morning and return at 4 in the afternoon and just wind down from there. You have your own privacy, not like in a hotel, which makes it extra special.

Anyway here are the photos:











And to finish off... here are some cows:


Enjoy!!
