Day 26
Vodni Nadrz Lipno to Traisen
July 21, 2022 in Austria ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Another short trip today (just 250km) but we’ve hit another country! We’re now in Austria in a beautiful campsite on the edge of the mountains. It was hot again today so didn’t make get so far and had to stop a few times but it’s wonderful to get a taste of the alps. We rode along the Danube, which is wide and lazy, before hitting some smaller twister roads and then heading south in search of higher altitudes and a respite from the heat.

A rest night tonight, showers, good food, lovely people and a brilliant alcoholic drink that you can only get in this part of Austria. Luckily the owner said he can ship the homemade syrup home with us if we need!

HIGHLIGHTS - lovely people of Austria, beautiful campsite
LOW POINTS - the heat (again), breakfast
ROADS - Klingenbergstaße, Naarntalstaße, route 3 along the DanubeRead more

Unfortunately, the weather today is not for trips around the area. That's why we decide to stay home and cook for ourselves. There are aTajine with couscous. This dish is a traditional food everywhere in Morocco. We like to cook and eat it because it tastes good and it is easy to prepare.Read more

Day 29
Wachau and Wine
September 27, 2018 in Austria ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
At noon Karl and Erika come and we start in direction Wachau for the first time. We cross the Danube and drive up to Maria Taferl. On the marketplace of the small town there are all sorts of typical trinkets to buy at the market stalls. In the newly-covered church, we marvel at the many images of saints on the walls. From the church square, we enjoy the great view of the Danube and the Wachau and then treat ourselves to a coffee in the sunshine in an outdoor dining area. Afterwards we start our actual goal today: the wine taverns of Gerda Piller and her husband. It is already true tradition that we come here on our austrian holidays. Every time there are excellent Austrian specialties and good wine. This time a bus full of Bavarian mayors arrives with musical instruments. It is played and joked and laughed. Each of us was having a good time. Sometime at midnight, unfortunately, we have to go home.Read more

Day 31
Dirndln
September 29, 2018 in Austria ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
The last day of our vacation has begun. For today is a visit to Dirndlkirtags on the program. It is a market day that is held once a year in the neighboring valley, each time in a different location. The theme is the rosehip, from which very special specialties are made, such as liquor, schnapps, pastries, jams, chutneys and much more. Moreover, the day is the day of the Dirndln, which means that the people here are almost all dressed in costume and a dirndl is a special, traditional, Austrian and versatile dress. Dirndl can also mean girls in dialect. We stroll among the countless visitors through the village. Everywhere stands the market stalls and the music plays. Young girls dance folklore, we drink cider and watch the fashion show. Finally we drive to a restaurant for lunch. Then it's back home. We have to pack our seven plums. Tomorrow we have to get out early and to the airport.Read more

Back Home
September 21, 2018 in Austria ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Before breakfast, we think about how it should continue now. We think of the South Styrian wine route and googling for wine taverns with accommodation, but there is nothing cheap and available here. After a fantastic breakfast we are still thinking about where to stay in Styria. At some point during the journey, the decision is made to drive home. We arrive home after seven in the evening.Read more

Day 39
Zuhause
June 10, 2019 in Austria ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Der letzte Tag unseres Trips ist angebrochen. So gern wir uns aufmachen andere Länder zu entdecken, so gern kehren wir auch wieder ins vertraute Heim zurück. 500 km sind es noch und es läßt sich voll leicht fahren. Bei der Einfahrt in unser Land fühlen wir uns schon fast wie daheim. Noch eine Kaffeepause und bald darauf stehen wir vor unserem Garagentor.
Hinter uns liegen ziemlich genau 10.000 gefahrene Kilometer durch elf Länder und über vierzehn Grenzen. Wir haben elf verschiedenen Währungen verwendet, landestypische Spezialitäten genossen und in achtundzwanzig verschiedenen Betten geschlafen. Wir haben öde Steppen, unendliche Weiten, wunderschöne Berglandschaften, armselige Dörfer und interessante Städte gesehen und manchmal haben wir auch über Hitze, Regen, Straßen und Bürokratie geflucht. Überrascht hat uns die Freundlichkeit der Einheimischen dort, die uns so selbstverständlich und uneigennützig weitergeholfen haben und die uns ganz einfach nur so eingeladen haben. Das werden wir auf keinen Fall vergessen.Read more
