Still in Graz, we had to make first repairs and adjustments at our bikes, but nothing serious. And fortunately there were no other issues with our gear during the rest of the day.
Today was the perfect day for cycling, because the ventilation made the high temperaures (33ºC) bearable, except for the leg between Gleinstätten to Wies, where the wind was heading in the same direction as us, with the same speed. The only relief here was a break under a tall oak tree next to a corn field. Also worth noting: lunch and swimming break at the Waldschacher Teich, a place where I had spent two vacations in my late teenager days.
Other breaks were at a café in Wies and a Gostilna (diner) 3 km after the Radlpass.
On the ascent to the Radlpass we had half an hour of rain, which was not a big deal with the new waterproof bags and our rain coats.
We found the cosy Gostišce pri Izodorju to stay for the night right outside the village of Muta, after we had decided that we do not want to spend 35 Euro per person for a night in the heavily advertized Gostilna pri Lipa east of Muta.
Right across the Drau river, in Vuzenica, there was a fest of the local fire brigade, where we had dinner and ice cream.
