      Mozart's Houses... and a fortress

      Kemarin, Austria ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      We were up and about early today, starting our walk where we left off yesterday, in Mirabell Gardens. First stop out the other end of the park was the first Mozart house of the day, the one where he lived as a child. After a short tour of the house, we had strudel and coffee in the outdoor cafe next door and watched the world go by.

      Crossing the fast flowing Salzach River via one of the many pedestrian bridges, we made our way into the picturesque streets of the old town. As it was Sunday, most of the shops were closed, but the cobbled streets were busy with tourists and locals alike.

      Our second Mozart house was the one where he was born, and another self guided tour.

      Lunch was at a hole in the wall Balkan Grill - we were reading about the cult status of the grill, hidden away in a back alley, and noticed a queue had already started forming, so of course we joined it!

      After lunch we caught the funicular up the hill to Hohensalzburg Fortress, the 11th century fortress overlooking the city. At 250m long and 150m wide it's one of the largest and best preserved medieval castles in Europe.

      We meandered back the our hotel via the riverfront path, and had tea at the same restaurant as last night. As we were eating, the rain came down, luckily for the first time of the day!

      A wet ride to Salzburg

      12 Mei 2023, Austria ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Passau to Salzburg was going to be a two day ride or one veeery long day if I went for it. It started off decently dry, but got more and more wet as I went. Wet, muddy and cold! I opted for a hotel in Salzburg, threw the (wet) towel in and hopped a train the last stretch! I spent the last day and a half hanging out in Salzburg and drying out all my equipment in the hotel. This morning I’ll be heading to an adjacent valley with a nice camp site by a little river, a sauna, pool and all the amenities! Also the salt mine tour that I want to check out is right next door! As long as I set up camp before it starts raining, let it rain! I’ve got a few hours of dry this morning, so I better start pedaling!Baca selengkapnya

      A small snippet of Salzburg

      1 Januari 2020, Austria ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C

      Again we’ve been a bit slow on the posts over the last few days. Probably not a bad thing as it must mean we are busy or too relaxed haha. Salzburg was lovely and I would definitely go back there again if we ever return to Austria! Although I feel like we covered a bit of ground in the time we were there. We visited the house where Mozart was born and spent the first few years of his life (was fascinated to hear about his very talented sister who I believe was overshadowed by her brother!), went to Mirabell Gardens (a little bit more colourful in summer I assume but very pretty!). We saw a fantastic interactive exhibition about some historic musical instruments, caught the funicular up to the Fortress Hohensalzburg and then walked everywhere else we could. The NYE vibe was a bit tamer than Amsterdam 3 years ago although there were still fireworks going off everywhere. We had a great view of the festivities from one of the pedestrian bridges on the river. The weather was perfect and we felt like we had a chance to relax a bit on the last day of our stay. Staying healthy and been cooking up some delicious meals in our Airbnb’s :)Baca selengkapnya

      Day 128: Military History Nerd Day

      17 Mei, Austria ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

      Today Kieran was a good sport and joined along in a museum trip to Fortress Hohensalzburg. As part of UMD’s military history degree, great emphasis is placed on how warfare changes politically, socially, and economically over time, from feudal war lords to royal families to ethno-nation state militaries. The Hapsburg Empire and Wars of Austrian Succession, Seven Years War, and German Wars of Unification are heavily covered because major advances in weapons/tactics and military science occurred at this time; it was also a major shift from dynastic family wars VS ethnic/nationality based wars, all occurring in Central Europe and specifically Austria.

      The fortress itself started as early as 1077 and continually morphed and built into one of the largest European medieval castles existing today. In more recent history, it had been used to hold Italian and German prisoners in World War II.

      There was a special exhibit that featured rifles/weapons and their improvements from 14th century up until World War I which Kieran really enjoyed. It followed a specific Austrian regiment that lasted during this time period and discussed all conflicts/battles they participated in over hundreds of years. It was a great nerd day for Mary and it was nice to recount a few lessons from her favorite Professor Jon Sumida. Also we broke the daily record for a marble labyrinth game!

      After the fortress, we visited Augustiner Bräu Mülln on recommendation from good friend Hannah Shockley. You show up, grab a stein, pay for a ticket , and then the beer man fills it up with the brew. There were little food stalls, meals, and deserts to enjoy in the beer hall.

      We ended our day touring the Mirabellgarten Palace Gardens and then catching up with good friends Andrea and Japan Trip Planning squad!

      Salzbug

      10 Mei, Austria ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Sind heute später los gekommen als gedacht. Aufbruch zu Hause um 11:00 Uhr Ankunft in Salzburg und 17:00 Uhr. Wir haben den Bus auf einen Parkplatz in der nähe der Stadt geparkt und wollen dort auch übernachten. Ohne Strom und WC.
      Salzbug ist eine sehr schöne Stadt mit wahnsinnig vielen Fußgänger Zonen. Zum Glück haben wir die Räder dabei und können auf Erkundungstour. Leider hatten wir nicht mehr viel Zeit um alle drei Besichtigungstour auf der Festung zu machen. Allerdings war der Blick grandios und hatte für eine Runde gereicht.

      Festung Hohensalzburg & Petersfriedhof

      2 Mei, Austria ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      I was feeling in a hurry when I arrived in Salzburg this afternoon, my first stop in Austria 🇦🇹 I'm only here for 26 hours in total and tomorrow the weather forecast is looking horrendous so I felt I needed to see as many outdoor sights as humanly possible this afternoon while the weather was good! ☀️

      However, within an hour or so of setting off, my mood changed completely. Gone was the stress of finding the most strategic route to tick off everything I wanted to see. In its place a sense of tranquility emerged as I found myself in an absolutely beautiful city with awe-inspiring architecture, carefully curated gardens, the sounds of symphonies seeping into the streets, and simply stunning surroundings.

      It also helped that I had bought a Salzburg Card before coming here which let me skip every queue of tourists, filling me with an incredibly gratifying sense of smugness! I used the pass to head up to the fortress overlooking the city, which provided a succinct history of the city that gave an overview of the city from its time as an Archbishopric in the Holy Roman Empire through to the end of the First World War. It also provided some incredible views of the city and surrounding countryside from the top of the Prison Tower. Admiring the surroundings, I couldn't help but think back to The Sound of Music, which I watched before going on holiday.

      I've only been here a few hours now but already Salzburg is quickly emerging as one of my favourite cities! (Or should I say, one of "my favourite things"! 🎵)

      Mit vielen, mit ein, ganz allein

      3 April, Austria ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Die Woche Hochkönig war wie immer wunderbar, aber irgendwann geht alles vorbei und meine Reise geht wieder weiter. Eigentlich war das Ziel ja nur bis hier hin zu kommen, aber jetzt habe ich den Spaß daran gefunden und die Zeit weiter zu machen.

      Unterwegs habe ich einen Termin für das nächste Bewerbungsgespräch am 16.04 ausgemacht und bis dahin werde ich die Zeit auf dem Rad nutzen...

      Wie nicht anders zu erwarten, habe ich mal wieder großartiges Wetter am Tag meiner Abreise und die Sonne brennt genau so wie meine Bremsen bei der Abfahrt bis Bischofshofen. Dort wird eine Radpumpe und Kettenöl gekauft, damit ich noch ein bisschen Pflege betreiben kann bevor mein Zug kommt.

      Zug? Ja genau. Es geht erstmal zurück nach München und die Strecke von Bischofshofen bis Gollingen war auf dem Hinweg das schlimmste Stück, also werde ich das Abkürzen und stattdessen mehr schöne Strecke fahren. In München trifft sich dann die ganze Familie bis Sonntag und dann geht es für mich in die letzte Etappe der Radreise... Witzigerweise will die Autokorrektur ständig Raserei aus der Radreise machen 😁

      In Salzburg treffe ich mich wieder für eine kurze Tour mit Walter an der Burg. Sehr schöne Aussicht von oben, sehr sehr Steil da mit dem Rad hoch zu kommen. Die Leute haben mich sogar angefeuert 🎉 Bis Freilassing habe ich also noch etwas Gesellschaft und wir Palavern so vor uns her.

      Danach heißt es wieder alleine auf Reise sein und sich mit der Ruhe anfreunden..

      Hohensalzburg Fortress

      5 Desember 2023, Austria ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C

      Wonderful afternoon wandering around the fortress that dominates Salzburg. Built by Archbishops over several centuries the history of the fortress is explained very clearly through the museum. The funicular to the top was fast and fun and the views stunning. Climbed to the tallest tower and walked inside the walls. Now having a coffee and cake looking out over the town and river.Baca selengkapnya

      Salzburg

      1 Desember 2023, Austria ⋅ 🌧 2 °C

      Up the hill:

      Went up to the fortress which was very cool, but the view it is famous for was hidden by a very thick layer of fog (that got thicker as the day went on). Then went to the Christmas museum, which was right next to the christmas markets and was very beautiful.

      Fun fact of the day: one time the fortress was under siege, they were running out of food and only had one bull left. Every day they painted it a different colour and walked it across the city walls to try and trick the enemy into thinking they have more food left than they did. It worked, the enemies thought that they could last months, so gave up and ended the siege.
