My view of the Salzkammergut changed when I was 18. For someone who grew up in the city of Salzburg, it was just around the corner. The selection of lakes, mountains and idyllic villages was like a land of milk and honey. Are we driving to Lake Wallers on Sunday? There the wind should be good to surf. We could drive on the Mondsee boat, go out to eat at the Fuschlsee, sail on the Attersee, swim in the Irrsee Baden, promenade at Lake Traunsee to hike around the Gosausen?
