Bad Aussee - 14.10.2022 Waterfall and Ruin Pflindsberg
Yesterday, we arrived in the evening in a beautiful holiday home near Bad Aussee. A bit of rain in the morning, so the day is started unhurried with shopping for fresh pastries and a brunch. Late morning, the sky starts to clear, so we break to the hamlet of Lichtersberg for a walk to the waterfall and ruin Pflindsberg.
Still a bit cloudy when we arrive at the waterfall, misguided by displaced signposts and climbing through steep forest.
Very narrow valley, so no chance to reach the waterfall from beneath.
The path leads closely to the escarpment at the upper end. A flat flowing beck disappears to the nothing.
Some flat meadows above ...
... and we are close to the ruin.
First views.
Dachstein still in clouds.
Close to the ruine is a small observation tower.

We went down the forest path and without any problems arrived at the meadow above our parking space.

Back to the misplaced signpost that guided us into the pathless forest. This path branching off into the forest ends somewhere therein. This silly placement of the signpost must have been in vicious intention. Nobody can be so silly.
For the end of the day, we drive down to the Altaussee lake and its outflow.

View over the balustrade of the terrasse. It seems that a new staff member is photographed for the hotel homepage.

It´s beginning to get cloudy, and it will rain during the night. Sun dog in ice clouds above Dachstein.
