From a campsite at Seebruck to a campsite beside a lake near Musbach

Monday

08:22: Washed and dressed (in slightly damp socks) and sitting eating breakfast of little Lidl bread rolls with ham and cheese. It’s another beautiful sunny day.

09:20: Packed and ready to go, except for one last biological function.

12:11: Leaving Matzing.

12:16: Traunwalchen.

13:34: Moving again.

13:48: Niedling.

14:21: Into a forest, after a baking stretch through fields.

15:16: Tettleham. Stunning views of the mountains and village church spires as I walk directly towards the mountains for the first time. They’re getting nearer.

21:36: I’m about to get into the bag. I had a lovely hour or two sitting by the lake as the sun went down. The proprietor offered me a beer when he heard I was walking to Istanbul, but I declined. He was disappointed — it was a local brew. Instead, his wife gave me a one litre bottle of apple juice that I’m turning into schorle.
