The center of the Park is a little over an hour away, which is the perfect amount of time for Francis' morning nap. So after 8am Mass, we packed a picnic lunch and headed out.
The Gesäuse is a rugged mountain landscape of limestone - very similar in appearance to Yosemite National Park in California. It's famous for its breathtaking beauty and remoteness. The Enns River has carved deeply into the mountains creating a steep valley. Brian and I hope to return sometime soon to go white-water rafting.
On this trip we visited the Weidendom (Willow Dome) and then hiked the "Wild John" Discovery Trail with little activities along the way for the kids.
We loved being down by the pristine water of Johnsbach stream, even though it was a little tricky making sure the kids didn't get swept up in the current!
We timed our departure perfectly so that both kids slept while Brian and I took in the beauty of the drive home!
Upon arriving home, we had the RAs over for dessert and now we are preparing for all of the other students to arrive at the end of the week!
Have a blessed Feast of the Assumption!
