Bad Aussee 20.5.2017
Susi has decided, that we should go shopping Bad Aussee´s traditional costumes for me. Due to the high clouds, I agree, so we drive to Bad Aussee centre and enter the shop.
Dachstein is free at the moment, despite the high clouds.
Shopping done, Susi left in the ladies´ department, and I go for a short round walk.
Lots of water in the Altaussee Traun - no wonder with huge amounts of snow melting on Loser.
The old pharmacy
This is the Grundlseetraun, here junctioning the Altaussee Traun.

Beneath the confluence the river is much wider. Sarstein in the background.

A quick detour to the famous gingerbread manufacture, to buy a few souvenirs.
View to the Totes Gebirge from there ...
... and to the Loser.
Back in the hotel, Susi entres the wellness area, and I go for a short walk a bit above the hotel to look for more daffodils.
White daffodils (Narcissus radiiflorus)
Unbelievable density of daffodils. An intense, enchanting smell is in the air.
I proceed crossing the forest to find this beautiful pond.
Globe flowers(Trollius europaeus) in the nearby grassland
A few more daffodils - not as much as before, but still beautiful.

On the way back, this time using the road, I spot this plate, telling this is private land and you have to ask for permission to enter. At the hotel reception, they told me afterwards, that there is a conflict with lawsuit, on a rather void reason, between the owners and the leaseholder of the area - to the mischief of people seeking recreation. Thanks a lot!
