Bad Gastein Waterfall — hero

Bad Gastein in Austria and it was so beautiful, honestly such good value too. Wasn't even planned — a friend and I decided kind of last minute we needed a trip, so here's a rundown of how it went plus some tips.

Mainly did: hiking, walking around the mountains, hot springs, just soaking in the scenery.

Coming from Munich, there's no direct train, you have to change in Salzburg. Whole thing took a bit over 3 hours, tickets were around €60 round trip. Our hotel sent a car to pick us up from the station so that part was easy.
