Golf Birthday Weekend Passau and Austria

What a perfect weekend: we stayed in a 300 year old house, enjoyed golfing in Austria and the beautiful town of Passau with its three rivers Danube, Inn and Ilz. Ronja also got her proficiency certificate/Platzreife.

Kleinwalsertal Weekend

For Peters 40th birthday we gathered in the mountains - the first spring flowers covered the meadows, but still plenty of snow above 1500m - we could do easy hikes and enjoy the time together including campfires...

Easter in the snow

For the Easter weekend we had plenty of snow - and sunshine inbetween. The powder was fantastic - outstanding tree skiing with the kids and in the end plenty of winners: Worldchampion Michaela Kirchgasser as well as the kids in their age group races at the local championships! ...only the victory ceremonies were a bit short because of the crazy snow conditions...
