Hiking: Day trip to Rax with the Eberts

With kids so close in age to our own, the Eberts have been great traveling companions. The kids entertain each other and the adults can actually talk.  

We decided to enjoy one of the last fall weekends by hiking the Rax mountain. The Rax is a mountain range in the Northern Alps about an hour from Vienna. Its highest peak is the 2,007 m. The Rax, together with the nearby Schneeberg, are a traditional mountaineering and mountain walking area, and are called the Wiener Hausberge (Vienna's local mountains). 

We took the Seilbahn up the mountain and decided on a 45 minute trail up to a restaurant for lunch. 







We all enjoyed the views along the way.





When we stopped for lunch, Ashton, Owens friend, announced it was 3:00 - which meant the 45 minute hike took us two hours.  We devoured lunch since the last train down left at 4:30.  As we headed back, we realized it was 2:00 not 3:00! So we took our time.
