1st Pix

so what am I doing all day long in the middle of the Alps?? I reckon that's a good question!! well, I work (sometimes at least), I went to the Spa next door for a lovely relaxing evening, even went skiing yesterday and stuff...

On the pix you can see the hostel.. doesn't it look great??!! then you have a view from Bad Gastein down into the Gastein valley (the town you can see is Bad Hofgastein) and the 3rd pic is the waterfall in the city center of Bad Gastein. the hostel is right next to the train station, the spa and of course right next to the chair lift up the mountains! it's brilliant!

the town is really nice. in former times the emperors used to spend their summer holidays here. that's why the buildings in town are huge and really nice! and it's set right onto a rock.. it seems like the whole town is just hanging like a picture on a rock! and it's up on 1000 meters!!
