At that time I rented a car to go to Halstatt, also known as one of famous beautiful small villages of Salzgurment, I’ve never dream of such an exciting tour.
Because of heavy snowfall, I considered whether to go there according to my schedule or not for a while, but I finally decided to drive to Halstatt in spite of the bad weather. Maybe the reason of the decision might be that I thought it would be the last chance to go there with my family in my life.
Despite of slippery road covered snow, I drove the car to Halstatt for almost 4 hours. But early darkness of winter had an enough power to push me to go back to a hotel I reserved quickly. Thus we had only 30-minute-tour in the village.
The real horrible experience began after leaving the town.
When we were in far from 10 minutes to the hotel by car, we got unexpected trouble.
The car couldn’t go over the heavy snow hill.
The things got worse and worse, my car stucked in between the road and rocks and my wife and daughter seemed to be in fear.
There were heavy snowfall and silent dark around us, it was really horrible situation as if it was a kind of thriller movie.
At that time, a car appeared behind me suddenly.
It appeared to go up the hill we stopped like us, but my car might be a barrier on the hill.
I thought to myself to ask them to help, so I walked down to him through snow.
Before I reached at his car, a big guy got out of the car with big smile.
As soon as I explained the terrible situation we had, he rushed into my car.
And then, surprisingly, he pulled the car from the ditch by his bare hands with yelling. What a strong man! After he did, he entered into the driver’s seat of my car, kept to try to drive it over the hill as my daughter rode on the back seat.
It was really strangest and eccentric scene I’ve ever seen.
I didn’t know how I can do, even I couldn’t decide either following the car or waiting him.
But my wife watched an old woman who waving us in the big guy’s car.
She said that because her husband was the special driver who could deal with such situations, there was no worry about it.
After her kind explanation, my wife and I could understand that they tried to help us to escape the bad case.
Unfortunately, in spite of his effort, we couldn’t get over the snowy hill to the hotel. Finally we couldn’t help find another hotel in Salzburg and cancelled the reservation of the hotel.
