Bärndorf (Gemeinde Rottenmann)
Bärndorf means Bear village. Teddy Bear in German is Teddy Bär, now how cool is that. I feel more at home with every passing day.
This is different Berndorf but we find the coat or arms rather awesome - a bear with a spoon!

The Teddy Bears roam the Alps
We heard that there are no bears in the Alps and we thought that's a shame, so we moved in to roam the Alps.

Winky bear
This Winky Bear is entirely made with CSS by Anastasia Goodwin
Hochhaide 2363 m
Dzibelia is chained around his neck so he doesn't get blown away.
Behind the bears is a memorial plaque to all mountaineers that fell in the mountain (didn't chain properly like us).

Rottenmann
We bought us a house in Rottenmann.
A healthy colony of bats is indicative of a well balanced ecosystem in the Alps.
We have been warned not to leave the windows open at night.
I found the text under the picture in German and used Google to translate. It said that the villagers got hammered and tried to torch the city on 4th of July 1679, gracefully intervened by the deities. I asked Juri if we are moving intentionally in sanctuary of drunks. Juri said that Google translates LIGHTENING like HAMMERING.
Rottenmann is a town in Styria in Austria, near the Rottenmanner Tauern. Rottenmann was first referred to in an document in 927. It received its town charter in 1279 from King Rudolf von Habsburg.
