Over the rickety-rackety bridge

They have put a new swinging bridge in at Bad Gastein. Its at the top of the Stubnerkogel mountain and links one lift station with another - sort of.
I think its purpose is more touristical than practical although one end does link directly onto the restaurant terrace! I imagine they will ply summer tourist with schnapps prior to their gravity defying crossing. Anyway, once I'd been across TW didn't have much choice but to follow. Striding purposefully across without a care in the world - not! Look out for the trolls Jacqui!
At the top of the mountain they also have a play area with computer game consoles wii etc, some free internet pc's.

So its a good place to check on the latest football news as well as to keep the the wife quiet.
The ski runs from here opened on the 19th December. It was bitterly cold on the day, about minus 18 Celsius so not a day for fooling around on the bridge. That was more a hot soup kinda day.
