Some more impressions form Vorarlberg
I did some really nice MTB trips, limited only by the weather which is very "humid" reading it is raining minimum once a day on some days for 24 h.
But there is a great alternative program - Culture!
I visited the Angelika Kaufmann Exibition in Schwarzenberg and the church she painted at the tender age of 16 with her father before she became a founding member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture. She was also the chick who was on the old 100 Schilling note for those who dare to remember :)
More of Angelika can be found here.
The party level here unfortunately is directly comparable to northern Pakistan - must be the mountains :) - just that the thrill of AK74s is missing.
Schönenbach - only 8km form Bizau and a hub to the mountains..
The have great "Käspätzle" there only the price level in Vorarlberg is ruining the appetite.
The Angelika Kaufmann Museum in Schwarzenberg...
The church ins Schwarzenberg

Vorarlberg - The Wild West
I promised some people to keep them updated on my solo adventures in the Wild West.
It is very idyllic here and although there is little to do the time is flying. I am finally reunified with my mountain-bike and I am using is on every possible occasion. The transportation of the bike and all the stuff I need was a bit tricky. That was the reason why I decided to bike the last 60 km through the beautiful Vorarlberg Alps and send whatever I could not carry. I admit there is a more developed route but distance and elevation difference would have been similar - so why not go for the beautiful one :)
The good thing is that distances were a lot further when I was a kid and nowadays even the trip from Langen am Arlberg to Bizau seamed like a short one.
I apologize for the bad picture quality - my phone is still my only camera.
From Langen am Arlberg up the Flexenpass
Finally up
Number two - and yes I was a lot lower in between...
Not really qualifying as a pass in this area it is still a long and steep way up.
