REPORT ON Wildschönau 1989 - by Mary Hickman
Wildschönau - 'The wild and beautiful meadows' - how wild and heautiful
they were
On the evening of 14th June a disparate group of 12 walkers gathered
together for their first meal after a very Interesting flight to Innsbruk. The holiday was just beginning and the excitement of being once more In the Alps added zest to the conversation (the schnapps produced by the lady of the house probably added to this).
The next day we had our first walk which took us through Alpine meadows - rich with a magnificent variety of flowers - including my favourite the Solderella which only grows where snow has justmelted. The day turned out to be the hottest of the holiday and the hay was just being gathered.
As it would take a book to describe each walk I shall just give an
impression of the days spent walking along viewey ridges streaked with snow; the stsmping of cards at Grosses to get our wondermadel; getting
stormed off the Grettspitz; Belinda having to have some first aid to
her soul (!); the red-streaked snow on the slopes of the Grosses Bel which was explained as heing caused by algae (alas- - Poor Algy) and the greenhouse which turned into a swimming-pool - or was it the other way round. Not to mention Maureen's many jokes !!
The baroque churches and small chapels alike were beautiful and well
cared for by the devout Austrians who are all very friendy, helpful and
hospitable.
The evenings were either spent in the apartment or at an Austrian
evening which were equally enjoyable as was the food rovided by the
Gasthof.
The last day was spent in Innsbruck visiting the Andreas Hojer
Panorama of the battle of Berg Lod and the Alpine 200 - especially 'the
otters which kept us amused for what seemed hours.
Our thanks .must.go to Ralph for being an excellent leader and to the
other members of the party for being such good companions in the
mountains - 'ich komme Zurück! ' - D.V. - Felix".
