www.TravelsWithSheila.com Zell am See is only a 30 minute Post Bus ride from Saalbach-Hinterglemm. The Bus stops right across from the Bahnhof (train station) and everything is within walking distance. Since the weather was supposed to be in the high 90s Fahrenheit, we decided to spend the day in this drop-dead beautiful town. Marine Steve spent a week in Zell am See in 1987; time to return and see what's been going on over the last 26 years. It would take a magician to conjure up a more spectacular setting than Zell am See on the shore of turquoise Zeller Lake, or Lake Zell, surrounded by forested mountains and covered with Alpine pastures. People stand along the lake, snapping a gazillion photos, while saying, "Have you ever seen anything more sublime?" I must have repeated different versions of that line every few minutes as we walked the pedestrian path circling the lake. Part II tomorrow will take you through Zell am See center...
