Mutters and Natters

---

These are the names of the two Villages south of Innsbruck where our campsite was.

Innsbruck center was full of beautiful buildings but unfortunately full of tourists. So we decide to skip Salzburg which is supposedly even more touristy than Innsbruck and go to the less visited Graz in southern Austria (Steiermark or Styria province) and spend four nights there.

This involves taking a train to Leoben in northern Styria where we will begin our cycle down the Mur river through Graz to the Slovenian and Hungarian borders. On the train we meet and chat with two pleasant retired women from Burgenland (eastern Austria) and a Californian couple who have spent their last five vacations cycling in Austria.
