Wednesday: I walked for about 2 hours up into the alm. The cows had been taken to the top of the mountain to graze. I did see cow bells, but only a few since only the lead cow in each group wore a bell.
After that Fritz and Almuth and I did a 2.5 hour walk in woods to St. Anna am Lavanteg and then beyond.
A lot of spruce is harvested here, the green buds in the spring are used to make schnapps.
We walked into town for shopping in afternoon--the only grocery store, then a bakery in a house, then a natural foods store . After that we stopped to say hello to the cows at the dairy farm in town--but they were all up in the alm. I recognized the tractor /trailor as the one that had passed me when I was coming down the mountain in the morning.
After we dropped the food off we went to visit the farm where the Groebacher’s future daughter in law lived. We petted the goats, the chickens, and the sheep.
