Saturday, 1. July 2006: Short evening Bicycle ride to Gries im Sellrain
After my course I start with my mountain bike from my quarter in Sellrain/Tauegert (1.100 m) first down the narrow mountain road to the centre of the village of Sellrain (908 m). Then I take the permanent ascent via the Sellrain valley to Gries im Sellrain (1.187 m) and further a short part of the road to Luesens, till shortly before Juifenau (1.381 m), then back on the same way.
Friday 30.6., 8.30 p.m. Arrived here, I shall have to get used to that breathtaking view over the Inn valley ...

In the centre of Sellrain, with Melach - beck
The water of the Melach is a bit milky turbid, especially on warm summer evenings, resulting from glacier melting water transporting finely bevelled rock powder from the ground of the glacier.
