Hi Rob, I dunno. My dad said that they have closed some non autobahn routes for non locals, to force people onto the motorway. The routes suggested on the camping website (via Salzburg, or moe directly Kufstein via Felbertauerntunnel (extra cost for the tunnel)) do include motorway. Unless you go Munich- Bad Tolz- Achenkirch, which is all non motorway. We are deffo getting a vignette. Any road, traffic is going to be v busy either way.
Hello all fellow Austrians: don’t forget that you need to buy a vignette to use the motorways (Autobahnvignette). It is sold in all petrol stations close to the border and at the border crossings, too. 10 days are 9.20 Euro and 2 months 26.80 for cars and vans up to 3.5t. You can also buy a digital version online: https://shop.asfinag.at
Hello all,
UPDATES, UPDATES:
I am looking forward to seeing you in Austria soon!
When you arrive at the campsite, just tell them that you’re with the Mynydd.
It is Nationalpark Camping Kals in Kals am Grossglockner.
Info on how to get there is hereI will be there from Saturday afternoon, but Mark and I can only stay till the 27th 🙁
Ian Nettleton has been super busy and has compiled lots of info on routes etc. I’ve started to translate some info into English (started on the multipitch climbs section).
You will find it in dropbox and should be able to access and download it via this link:
Dropbox Austria folder
Thanks, Ian!Some info form Colin re maps:
“Colin: A bit of detective work has got me further along the road, but unless I get advice to the contrary I think I will take a chance on being able to get maps there.
The best maps at 1:25,000, (more for climbing to summits perhaps?) would seem to be:
AV ((Alpenverein) walking editions.
Numbers 36 and 39 would seem to be very useful, and possibly 40. Number 41 might also be good. (South and East of Kals.)
Kompass Wandercarte numbers 46 and 39 at 1:50,000 might be good for walking.
I look forward to seeing what other people think!”Update on the campsite situation:
They are extremely chill and don’t need us to book individually in advance. I’ve asked them to keep 15 pitches for us for now, but I will have to let them know if there are any major changes to this.
So please, if you’re coming and haven’t let me know yet, please tell me or fill in the google sheet. I’ve updated this with the latest info on who and when 🙂 If you are not on there and should be, give me a shout.
