31.7.2008 Pyramidenkogel, once more the monkey mountain and an evening boat trip on Lake Ossiach

Today, we decide to drive to the look-out tower on Pyramidenkogel. Afterwards, there is enough time for a second visit on the monkey mountain, desired by the children. Our last evening we enjoy at a boat round trip on the lake with a delightful buffet dinner.

Sometimes, Japan macaques even go swiming for food.

However, if possible, they prefer to angle it from outside.

In the evening, we enter the liner for an extra tour around Lake Ossiach with a fine dinner on board - what could be nicer than njoying the evening sun on the lake with a fine meal and a good glass of wine?
