Notes for week 22 of 2022

I’ve been off for a week around Salzburg lakes, mostly Wolfgangsee. It was a nice return after two years, alternating between hiking days and resting days.

Lower Alps are starting to grow on me.

Random

• I’ve walked 72 km. I’ve been active for 21.2 hours during 10 activities. This week’s max speed was 47.1 km/h and I conquered 3422 elevation meters.
