Day 15: The Alps of Tirol

Approaching the alps meant that the hills got higher and the climbs got longer.

Still I was able to enjoy the Allgäu with free animals and mountains in the background.



The first big hill awaited me.



It was tough but all worth the pain as I was cycling small paths high in the mountains.




Full speed down hill I nearly ran over a group of horses.



Just at the start into the second climb it startet raining heavily for one hour.



But the rain kept me cool on the way up and when I came down into the valley on the other side it was lonely and beautiful.



The views even reminded me of Yosemite.





Through little tight forest section I reached the lower plains towards Innsbruck.



Just half an hour after thinking of the similarity to Yosemite, the Inmsbruck version of "el capitan" appeared in front of me.



Finally I arrived in town and had a quick look at it before I decided to come back the next morning.
