Day 82 Neustadtl an der Donau – Donaudorf (Ybbs)

17 December 2018
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.

The road to the forest had +-10 cm of snow
Down hill to the Donau

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.

  1. Aladin,
    Dit is toch afzien! dat is mijn eerste reactie nu. Het trof me hoe je zo alleen, zo in de kou, in een, zo nu verlaten, besneeuwd concentratiekamp rond hebt gelopen.
    Ik herinner me mijn eigen verbijstering toen ik in kamp Dachau was…maar..die kon ik nog wat delen met anderen. Ik vergat uit te ademen terwijl ik je verslag las en vroeg me af wat er door je heen ging daar…..
    En dan ga je weer dapper verder…thee zetten in een ijskoud bushokje…gelukkig doe je dit allemaal vrijwillig. En, is het niet alleen afzien, ook veel hartelijkheid en lichtpunten onderweg. liefs, je moeder.
