We left the Zell Am See site and headed west towards Mayrhofen. On the way we stopped to visit the Krimml waterfalls, the highest waterfall in Austria.
Once we found the campervan car park, we set off for a walk. The waterfall has various stages, with many viewpoints available as you walk up the side, quite steeply at times.
We reached the top where there's a bridge across the river.
We then headed back down. On the way the heavens opened and we were caught in a heavy shower without waterproofs. However it didn't last all that long, and by the time we got back the sun had come back out and mostly dried us out.
We walked about 8 km with 420 metres of ascent.
We left Krimml and drove to Mayrhofen using the most direct route, the Gerlos Pass. What we didn't expect was that there was a 12.50 euro toll for using the road. It's difficult to get Google Maps satnav to avoid toll roads like these since all motorways in Austria are officially toll roads anyway, and we'd paid for a vignette for them.
Anyway, we arrived at our next site, Campingplatz Mayrhofen and checked in. It worked out at 51 euros per night including EHU, showers and tourist taxes. It also has a swimming pool.
It's well positioned, just a 10 minute walk from the town. However we didn't venture in today, it started raining heavily and we had thunder and lightning for a couple of hours.
For dinner we had tuna salad with beetroot, cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce and new potatoes.
