Day 12 Stephanskirchen to Worgl
Totals 726.52km 3350.2m
With a ton of rain in the forecast and overnight storms, we decide that we could skip the ride and go for the train at least half way, so headed down to the Bahnhof only to find that there were hordes of people and that the "trains had fallen out" i.e. get a bus or ride.
So found our way back to the river and headed on upstream, still lots of rain and wet gravel paths made for slow progress along the river bank. Between the clouds we could look at the mountains as the valley closed in. Like most alpine valleys they fit in the autobahn, railway, local roads and the bike route. We stayed on the look out for suitable coffee spots but either closed on account of the rain or just not there so a long way to caffeine today.
Made it to Kufstein and found a coffee shop as a thunderstorm came through so missed the worst of that before the last section of the path in the showers.
The route from Kufstein to Worgl was mostly sealed and we made better progress until in the outskirts of Worgl where we took a wrong route up a short steep hill to end in someone's backyard back down onto a narrow muddy track on the river edge to make our destination.
Interesting that today we crossed back in Austria and the German police were manning the border crossing and while we did not see any cars get stopped, we assume they knew who they were looking for.
