Zell am See, Austria


Next the the National Park and some of the things we saw in Salzburg, Zell am See was a favorite place in Austria. We went there twice to walk around and have our dinner. The first trip we had a Bratwurst meal. The meal was so good that on our second trip we had the Bratwurst meal again.

Zell am See is a beautiful place!
