Motivated for an excursion of a different kind, 6 kids, 4 adults and a toddler with a pushchair took the first cable car up Gmunden's local mountain at 9 am. The gondola ride already gave us an idea of what a turbulent day was in store.
Once at the top, the adventure playground and the low ropes course were explored first. Wild slides, courageous climbs and mutual encouragement were on the agenda here. The children had already exhausted themselves here and so it was no surprise that the first break had to be taken.
When the clock finally showed 10 o'clock, the entire group was already standing in front of the entrance to the Grünberg-Flitzer summer toboggan run. The excitement of the kids as they conquered the Grünberg-Flitzer for the first time was almost unbearable. After a short period of feeling their way around and trying it out, it was clear that they wouldn't be changing locations any time soon.
Thanks to the summery temperatures, a hike to the lake Laudachsee was finally in order - with the cooling that awaits there in the back of our minds.
Along the way, the group walked, chatted, did gymnastics, climbed and, of course, whined. While one part of the group hiked along the forest path with the pushchair, the second part explored the forest path towards lake Laudachsee.
Arriving at the lake Laudachsee, everyone enjoyed the cool refreshment and lunch at the Ramsaualm, so that they could enjoy the subsequent swim in the mountain lake even more. A picnic blanket, towels and swimming gear were of course a must in the rucksack.
Now one might assume that the way back to the mountain station of the cable car was not quite as relaxed. On the contrary: while the adults were already showing the first signs of fatigue, the kids were still motivated to explore the treetop walk Salzkammergut.
After putting all the stations through their paces, a fun slide down the observation tower was of course a must. At the end, everyone was rewarded with a delicious ice cream in the Grünbergalm.
