Back to Austria 🇦🇹 - Snow in the Lech Valley

I pick a campsite in the Lech valley and once again do not look too closely at the route. The snow gets deeper and deeper, skiers are everywhere - and then we get a visit from the Allgäu…

Switzerland 🇨🇭 - Bern and the First Snow

Arribes and Sierra de Francia 🇪🇸 - Vultures, Rain and La Alberca

The weather is still not on our side, but right on cue at the end of the working day it clears for two hours. Later we have to reverse through a narrow village - and then end up in a place we had not expected at all…
