5:12 AM in St. Wolfgang..

The sun slowly rises over the mountain crests of the Salzkammergut region, painting the grey night sky in strong orange tones – today's weather forecast again predicts a cloudless sky, brilliant sunshine and temperatures above 30 °C.

'The early bird catches the worm', which gives me enough time to exercise before the sun reaches its zenith and I can stretch out on my sunbed after training.

SO WHAT SHALL I DO
today?

Should I put on my swimming costume and take a dip in the cold water? Should I put on my running shoes and follow the tracks of the Lake Wolfgang route? Do I want to get up high and climb the Schafberg mountain before the swathes of tourists arrive in the lift? Or should I take my bike and cycle up to St. Gilgen?

Depending on my mood, I can do lengths in the 25 m indoor panorama pool or jump straight into the lake. [P83]-The Pool has a lane that tracks your time – this awakens my competitive instinct and I try to surpass myself with every length.

But swimming around the 20 °C lake also has its attractions. So I put on my swimming clothes, throw on a bathrobe, walk the few steps across the meadow to the jetty and off I go.. already I'm in the water..

a good day to
be athletic.

I'll go on a hike with my partner on one of the other days, and I'll keep my running shoes for when I do the Lake Wolfgang run in October. The hotel has a spacious gym with excellent equipment, but in this weather it would be a shame..

Perhaps a cycle ride in the morning? But I'd need to have my bike checked first – it's handy that there's a workshop and bike rental store right next door. While I wait, I enjoy a large breakfast on the sunny terrace to get me ready for the day!

.. phew, now I'm exhausted..

I take my packed bathing bag back to my room and find a free sunbed right by the lake. The calm and privacy is great, no children screaming anywhere in the whole building – that's because my Cortisen is a hotel for adults!

SORRY, no kids..

In the afternoon, I could treat my tired muscles to a massage in the Pavilion directly on the lake.. I'll go and check right now if they have any slots available!

My Feelness Oasis.. find out more!

EVENING
The end of the day

I'm glad that I thought of booking a table for dinner when I was having breakfast – the menu is heavenly and just the right thing after an active day.

This is a genuine treat! We are sitting on the terrace looking out onto the lake, enjoying a calm end to the day while watching the sun slowly set. With my sore muscles, I'll sleep like a log.. I am excited to find out what the next day has in store for me..

We just thought,
while we were at it…
