Biberwier
Camped last night at the foot of the ski lifts in the Austrian Tyrol, 3,250 feet high, after our worst day yet! We had crossed Fernpass, once the trading route of the Roman Army, and our 3rd pass, which will lead us out of the mountains to Fussen, Germany. The track climbed very steeply on loose gravel, rocks and uneven ground, narrowing at times. We pushed and manhandled our bikes to the top, without much food and in hot temperatures. We then had to walk the bikes down holding the brakes to control them. It took us all day and several days to recover!
