We left Gosau in the morning for
our next destination – the pretty musical city of Salzburg. We decided not to
take the highway, but rather a route that passed through mountains and small villages
- green meadows, small cottages with smoke billowing out of chimneys, mountains
covered with lush green trees – it was magical! As we were moving, we saw some 4-5
cars parked in an area; we decided to stop and check-out what it was – we were at
Lammerklamm.
We decided to go and explore it –
and thank god we did! It was a beautiful gorge - an impressive spectacle of
light, thundering waters, and shade; I had never seen something like
this before. The entire klamm was about 2 kms long. As we were about to start
our journey, it started drizzling; but we decided to go ahead, descending into the gorge over secured walk ways and stairs
hugging the cliff. The walk along this klamm put a smile to our faces, refreshed
us, sound of the water gushing soothed our soul and senses. As if this were not
enough, the winds blowing - strong but not the least bit ill intentioned,
rather coltish and carefree - ensured that the tiny droplets of water pouring
around sprayed on our faces; wow what a feeling it was – inexplicable! It made
this walk all the more amazing!

We finished this “walk” on the
marked paths but did not stop here – there was a small wooden bridge that took
us to the other side of the klamm- we continued ahead, passing some cafes and cottages.
As we moved further, we reached a narrow path lined with trees on both sides, we
could see the mountains at a distance covered with fog, the sky was cloudy with
rains pouring - the confluence of all this resulted in a sight that was
spectacular; I was dazed! We clicked as many pictures as we could, knowing
seemingly well that we will not be able to capture what we were witnessing! It
was time for us to go back now and resume our travel to Salzburg.
