Working Holiday Piesendorf Austria 

Martin • Nov 15, 2018

A good customer and friend invited me to stay and experience the beautiful Central Eastern Alps. In return for building two new mountains bikes and some general repairs to the Wood Yard Chalet.

So I agreed to go! It's was only for a few day inPiesendorf and my first time to this part of Europe. But we made the most of the time, from the moment we arrived we unloaded the van removed the mountain bikes out of the boxes and rode those mountains.

We also had great weather, for this time of year in November it was unusually warm and we had the best days cycling.

The village of Piesendorf is a municipality in the district of Zell am See, in the state of Salzburg in Austria.
The wood yard apartments view the mountain of Kitzsteinhorn. And is a mountain in the High Tauern range of the Central Eastern Alps in Austria. It is part of the Glockner Group and reaches a height of 3,203 m. The Kitzsteinhorn glaciers are a popular ski area.

Near by in the village ofKaprunis the Tauren Spa, with an outdoor salt pool at 38 deg C and saunas, a great way to relax after skiing and cycling.

28% hill climb, 2 hours cycling and climbed 1200 meters. These bikes had the lowest gears 28 T front and 46 T rear, making it easier to climb.

Charging the power station from the leisure battery in my campervan or from 110 W solar panel. To be a little self-sufficient when wild camping. Also, allows me to charge laptop and the phone for working remotely on longer trips away.

The world crisis we are all going though, will bring suffering and hard-times. This will bring a brilliant opportunity, from a good kick up the back-side to get people to work and build a better life. As we become in-tune of what's really important, we will not be able to rely on the health care system, people will have no choice but start to take care of themselves. Things will get better, but not the same as before, we will see less plastic rubbish being brought from China and more quality goods made locally.

I urge each of us, to invest in experiences instead of more stuff. We are living in the golden age of debt 'monotonous life' yet the world has so much to offer 'experiences'
