At this stage the weather forced us to modify the path. Our initial idea was to reach the town of Hallstatt and sleep there, but the heavy snow and a couple of blunders in the car convinced us to reach Linz .
Although the day dawned cloudy in Innsbruck and weather forecasts did not rule out snow, we had the initial idea of \u200b\u200bcrossing the Alps along the scenic Highway 165 . It started snowing lightly during the rise to Gerlos Pass, a mountain pass that connects the Tirol the Salzburg region through the Hohe Tauern National Park . His rise has a toll of 7.50 euros.
Although the snow was gaining strength and the snow started to accumulate on the road, our winter wheels grabbed it and enjoy a beautiful white landscape during the ascent to Gerlos Pass. Across the harbor we stopped to visit the Krimml Waterfall, the largest waterfall of Europe . To reach the waterfall we had to walk through the snowy forest and its occurrence among the white mantle was spectacular.
After watching the waterfall of Krimml continue along the road 165 passing through the winter resort of Zell am See , one of the largest ski areas in Austria with a frozen lake.
the snow gradually gained momentum and became difficult enough when we got near Hallstatt the close 166 road full of curves and slopes where a skidding were the order of the day. Many drivers put chains began and, as we did not have, we call upon the goddess of fortune.
At Hallstatt just us stayed five minutes because I kept snowing heavily and feared people were trapped in the next day it was when we had to return to Vienna . We made a couple of pictures in the middle of the storm and we left at 20 km / h to try to reach at least until the highway .
After reaching the highway , where snow is not complicated both the circulation, we decided to reach Linz , who was only 50 kilometers.
