Day started with a quick drive to the cable-car Untersberg, which takes you up to Geiereck mountain station. We ended up driving to station as it was a 1/3 of the time to get there - and was essentially a straight shot down the road from the hotel. The lift ticket was part of the pass. We wandered the alpine for about 45 min, before heading back down the cable car. The views were astounding...we even saw local wildlife.
Next, we headed to Schloss Hellbrunner. The main focus is the Trick Fountains - all powered by water pressure. The tour was well done, and we had fun watching the water works.
The Palace itself was next.
The monks retreat at the top of the hill was the last stop of the Pass - we clocked in at 2:20. The house is now a local folk museum, with 3 stories of Austrian folk furnishings, household goods and traditional costume and customs.
We were quite happy with our pass- we got at least 70€ worth out of a 35€ cost for two days. The evening was spent back int the town, where we hit our known restaurant for dinner.
