Neustadtl an der Donau – Donaudorf (Ybbs)

Edeltraud gave me a nice breakfast and something for lunch and then I headed out.

It was not so cold when I left. My way to Neustadtl was almost constantly up hill that was heavy.
At a farm in the garden was a cat and it kept looking at me

Then I ate the chocolate cookies that the woman of the concentration camp had given me. They where with chocolate and tasted good.

Then I met this friendly woman who was very interested in my journey, so I told her all about it.

Unfortunately I still don’t know her name.

Then I finally arrived at Neustadtl. Where there should be a fouthpath but I had no idea where so I continued on the road.

Here was a path but it was slibby from snow and ice

Neustadtl has apparently a relation with Jakobsweg because all around the city there were signs. This was one of them, I agree the way is the goal.

Then there was this situation where I first didn’t get what the problem was until I looked up. There was a whole bunch of snow on the roof.

Chickens in the snow

When I walked out the city the weather changed and I had a dripping nose again.

At a busstop I made tea and had something to eat.

After the break I headed in the direction of Ybbs.

Because new year is almost there it becomes early dark so I continued about one and a half hour in the dark. Luckily I have a good headlamp. And I am very pleased with it, only this week I had to charge it for the second time.

In Donaudorf I went to a house and asked for water and the elderly woman gave me also some kind of bread.
I pitched my tent next to the fish club building and made noudels that Alex brother had given me.
