Suddenly she heard the call of the mountains which became louder and louder until she couldn&#8217;t ignore it any more and so this bubbly lady from Oberpfalz swapped her postie&#8217;s bag for a milking stool on an unpaid four month holiday on the Kallbrunnalm in the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lofer.com\/en\/things-to-do-in-summer\/hiking\/naturpark-weissbach\" type=\"page\" id=\"1179\">Naturpark Wei\u00dfbach<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a busy working day, she gazed thankfully at the landscape and marvelled at the allure of the mountain world; the traditional alm huts between gentle hills, the mighty mountain massif and the rockfaces in the background. And she admired the solidarity of the dairy people. \u201cEveryone helps where they can, they sit together for a beer after work, gossip, sing and pray together\u201c, she explains and it sounds almost like a kitschy home country novel.&nbsp; Something ignited in her that first&nbsp;alm-summer; now the milkmaid wanted more. Someone else would have to deliver letters in the summer. Instead, she milked ten cows for a Bavarian farmer for twelve seasons and looked after the young animals. By hand she made the headdresses for the cows for the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lofer.com\/en\/salzburger-saalachtal\/traditions-and-customs\/harvest-festival\" type=\"page\" id=\"1097\">homecoming parade<\/a><\/strong>. She bound the deliciously scented \u201cKr\u00e4uterbuschen\u201c or bundles of herbs which are blessed at the Mass on the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady in August and which are fed to the animals in the stall during the Christmastide \u201cSmoke Nights\u201c. And she was also fantastic at nurturing the calves.&nbsp; \u201cIt&#8217;s wonderful when such a tiny creature comes into the world\u201c, Antonia explains. She isn&#8217;t homesick for the lowlands at home and her parents and two siblings visit her often. No, she doesn&#8217;t want to give up the alm life, that is for certain! She has swapped to the Loferer Alm with her partner Andreas Stahl from Lofer. The couple built the \u201c<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kuhbar-lofer.at\/en\/salzburg-saalachtal-bar\" target=\"_blank\">Kuhbar<\/a><\/strong>\u201c there and it opened in Winter 2012\/13. Skiers love to stop by at this apr\u00e8s-ski bar on the Schwarzeck piste; revel in the fantastic views from the deckchairs and enjoy being spoiled with cool drinks such as the \u201cKuhbar-Libre\u201c and the delicious homemade gulasch soup.&nbsp; There is a younger generation already: Veronika is four and Katharina is one year old. The family have built a flat next to the Kuhbar. Life on the mountain is completely normal for little \u201cVroni\u201c. That&#8217;s why she asked her Mum not long ago, \u201cWhy don&#8217;t all people live high up above the valley?&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
