L I N Z is the capital of Upper Austria and Austria's third-largest city. It is located in north Austria between Vienna and Salzburg.
It's a cosmopolitan city with a beautiful historical centre with elegant and wonderfully restored patrician houses. It is not well-known by tourists, but those who are making a bike trip along the Danube between Passau (Germany) and Vienna, often have a stop-over here.

Maybe I will leave autobahn which I drove many times and visit the old town of Linz. Haha, internet makes people closer, no doubt. Are you going to take the night train to Vienna soon?
Nice page - you obviously have good memories of Linz - thanks for the information.
I left home with my sis when I was 11 & she 9. Freedom is indeed sweet, lol

Heel mooie Linz pagina. Vooral de speciale binding die je er in je jeugd had, maken het extra interessant om lezen.
Looks like a great place to spend your 2nd home! I love the Old Quarter! Those areas are always my favorite in cities! Great page about your childhood!
Nice and personal page of Austria's most under-rated city
