Sankt Gilgen

by acemj - last update: Dec 18, 2004

Sankt Gilgen is one of the many charming towns in the Austrian lake district known as the Salzkammergut, a short drive to the east of Salzburg. VTer globetrott (Michael) and I spent a few hours checking out the town and admiring the beautiful setting on the shores of the Wolfgansee.

Historically, St. Gilgen is most well-known as the birthplace of Mozart's mother and as a prominent lace-making center in 18th century Austria. However, it would be a stretch to say that St. Gilgen's better days are behind her. In fact, the town remains a popular place for both Austrian and foreign visitors to spend part or all of their vacations.

One of the best parts of traveling is the food and while in St. Gilgen, Michael and I had a decent meal of Wiener Schnitzel and some local beverages. However, the best part of my time here was simply sitting in the warm sun and sharing good conversation with a new friend.

 The ladies of VT are deeply saddened there are no Mark pictures in Lederhosen. I have burned all mine.

 Am I right in thinking that Michael persuaded you to buy some lederhosen? I hope you only wear in private! Along with those 1970's Macau fashions!
