Hiking in Berchgarden.

Today we decided to go out hiking. We headed down into town and went to the tourist office. They recommended a few day hikes of varying difficulty and length. So they recommended that we take the 25 min drive to Austria and ask them because they had a lot more variety we said ok! We drove there and it took us about an hour and a half not 30 min... when we got there the guy we talked to had actually spent a year in Portland studying! They was great and he gave us a couple great hike recommendations. So first we went on a little hike through some beautiful gorges. We had to pay 5 euros each and no one told us there was a fee so that was annoying. But once we got in there we saw some really remarkable water caves and that was a cool experience. Then we left that hike and drove the hour back to Berchgarden and looked for the other hike we were told about. We got there and were greeted with a 6 euro fee per person we said screw this we are not paying to walk in a forest. So we went to the 3rd hike and this one was much more of an hike. We made it about 2/3rds of the way up but then my knee started acting up and it started to rain so we headed down the hill. It was a good day overall because we got out but it was annoying having all of these negative surprises.
