While we’re all waiting around to see if we decide on another assault on the Schafberg we might as well look at some shots from around town. The first are from last night, and the later ones are from this morning.

The view from the balcony of our room: the bell tower of the parrish church, and the summit of Schafberg, up there just taunting us.

A more complete view of the parrish church.

The view southeast. To the far right at the base of the ridge is St. Wolfgang im Salzkammergut.

The lakeside view of the parrish church.

Such a visually striking area. The limestonepeaks feel like a miniature version of the Dolomites or Dachstein. These must be the forefront of the Northern Limestone Alps.

On the waterfront, with the moon setting behind.

Looking southeast along the Wolfgangsee. A much different look this morning.

A look back to the cliffs south of town.

The Schafberg didn’t go away overnight. Now or never, I’d say.

A look south along our street. Our guesthouse is the flower laden building on the right. We’re on the top floor, at this end. At the top of the ridge ahead is the Zwolferhorn, the high point above the south shore of the lake. Plan B for the day is to hike up there and take the tram down. Not such an easy hike either.
