Day 42 Linz - Grein 🇦🇹 - 60kms

Stunning weather for my cruisy ride today.  The route followed the river for most of the day.  


Typical Austrian cycle.route sign




This section of river is popular for fishing.

Quite a lot of industrial activity next to the river with dredging, gravel and other road work looking materials being mined and loaded onto boats for transport along the river.

A number of river cruise ships today passed by today.  Saw a small snake and waited for it to slither away.





Met a lovely Belgium couple at my lunch spot.  A busy cafe just for cyclists and water refills and shady picnic tables.




They told me about an open air Celtic museum a small diversion off the route.  The museum had English language self guided booklets.  Interesting place and many of the  buildings and artifacts only discovered in the 80's by a farmer who alerted the archaeologists. As i was leaving, 2 Aussie couples from Perth arrived, so we had a nice chat.

Bread baking ovens







My campsite has two young couples, so not alone tonight, but it's next to a busy road which appears to be the main route to Vienna for trucks 🙄. Hoping they don't do the overnight run!
