After the rain overnight in Imst it was not warm. The swimming bath next door wasn’t tempting so we decided on a walk around town. We found the Pfarrkirsche church from the 1400s that had a lot of ancient decoration on the outside and the inside. We then wandered down the Main Street with the…

We woke up to a drizzly morning and clouds in the mountains. There are hops growing everywhere in Zalec – it’s their main industry. We checked out the field next to us. You can maybe see the deer hiding between the rows. We drove to the hops museum and had to wait outside for nearly…
