A nice finale for the Gipfelklänge 2013: Having a jazz brunch with Tini Kainrath and band. The concert took place on the grounds of a former Hammerherrenhaus (Building for the owner of a hammer mill), which is part of the theme park Mendlingtal.

Musikverein St. Georgen/Reith at the Gipfelklänge 2013
The 2nd day of the ‘Gipfelklänge 2013‘ started with a concert by a brass-band in front of the Hotel Fahrnberger. No chance to sleep any minute longer in the cosy ‘Genießerzimmer’ of the hotel. The Genießerzimmer are special rooms promoted in the area of the Austrian state Lower Austria.
Florianer Tanzlgeiga at the Gipfelklänge 2013
At the end of a long day of hiking we listened to the Florianer Tanzlgeiga sitting inside an inn and having some pigling for dinner. The group played pretty lively so some guests started to dance spontaneously.
The Floriani Tanzlgeiga offered an interesting mix of music. They played classic pieces as well as local ballads. The ladies sung the local songs in a broad dialect which made the event even more cosy.

Hotel Mandl-Scheiblechner in Göstling
At the Hotel Mandl-Scheiblechner, I had the chance to sleep in a canopy bed for the first time. As I was exhausted from my hiking tour, I didn’t sleep differently from a standard bed. The atmosphere of the room was superb, though.
