We found this interesting sign on the way down (remember this would be covered in snow in the winter, so the rocks might be less of a problem). It says "Only for the experienced". Definitely.
About half way down (half of what we walked, so still pretty far up the mountain), there was an alpine garden (carefully tended by humans, not wild). We saw some edelweiss (the flower in "Sound of Music"), which is becoming relatively rare, because of climate change. It is a small, white, composite flower, with small "snowballs" in the inner section. The images you find on the web are quite pretty; these were sort of ratty.
After the hike, we said our goodbyes and got on a bus to take us to Salzburg, where we ended our vacation. See next post.
Summing up: I really recommend this trip/route. We had a few hiccups along the way (which I don't particularly want to record in my memories of this vacation), but the biking, the scenery, the people -- everything was fantastic.
