What a gorgeous city! Reminded me of Heidelberg. Enjoyed that little chapel. Very sweet. Town looks like a winner.

Nice photos! I went to one corner of Austria this summer (Bregenz), and had a great time.

We were supposed to see also Krimml and drive on Grossglocknerstrasse, but we had to change the trip plan unfortunately. Nice review of Austria.

Great overview. My only memories are skiing memories. Maybe I should think about it for going on a hiking summer holiday.

Hi Helga, ik weet zeker dat het er prachtig uit ziet in de winter, maar ik ben toch geen wintersport liefhebber. Mooie foto van jullie in de sneeuw:-)

Great page, Helga. I particularly like the wildlife photo from the park and the church/steeple photo with the misty clouds in the background.
