      A wet ride to Salzburg

      12 de maio de 2023, Áustria ⋅ ☁️ 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!Leia mais

      A small snippet of Salzburg

      1 de janeiro de 2020, Áustria ⋅ ☀️ 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 :)Leia mais

      Day 128: Military History Nerd Day

      17 de maio, Áustria ⋅ ☁️ 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 de maio, Áustria ⋅ ⛅ 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.      Leia mais

      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"! 🎵)      Leia mais

      Fortress Hohensalzburg, Salzburg

      4 de abril de 2023, Áustria ⋅ ⛅ 1 °C

      Next on the agenda for this morning was a visit to the Hohensalzburg Fortress. Hohensalzburg Castle looms over the Old City of Salzburg from its lofty position on top of Mount Festungsberg, and the easiest way up is in the funicular. It was built in 1077 under the orders of Archbishop Gebhard von Helfenstein and later enlarged at the end of the 15th century. This is the largest, fully preserved castle-fortress in Europe, measuring 250 meters long and 150 meters wide. It was intended as a retreat for the Bishops and Prince-Bishops of Salzburg.

      In order to get supplies and building materials to the mountain top an elementary “Reisszug" or cable car was devised in 1495 and it functioned until 1504. This is considered the oldest operating funicular in Europe.

      In more recent history the castle fortress was used as a prison for Italian prisoners of war in World War I and later in 1934 it held Nazi activists, before Austria was invaded by Germany. The history of this place is so interesting and we got to walk through the spaces, see a collection of historic weapons and other interesting artefacts, and climb the tower to admire the views of Salzburg below. Being it is off season not everything was open to see but what we did get to see was impressive. I am so glad we finally had good weather to get up here.      Leia mais

      Fortress Hohensalzburg, St Peters Square

      8 de agosto de 2023, Áustria ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

      We got up and had breakfast in the room, and then walked down to the central part of Salzburg hugging the castle wall. We went up to Hohensalzburg Castle. It was a very long steep climb up from the city, especially right where you enter the castle. When we got there we noticed there was a cog railway that ran up and down the hill that would have been a good idea to take because by the time we walked from our hotel through the city up to the castle and the steep entrance. Then we walked all around the castle inside and walked around for the afternoon. Our feet were beat. Purchase the full tour ticket to see all areas of the castle, it is only €4 more.
      You can also buy these tickets online and it is less expensive online. We then toured the castle and went into the museum. Impressive collection of medieval armor weapons and WW I Austrian military uniforms and weapons. There are portions of the castle where they show restoration work and expose the old walls which is very cool. The interior chamber for the archbishop is amazingly decorated, and there is a tile stove for heating. Heating one of the two rooms was heated by the most ornate stove in Europe. All in all it takes about 3 or 4 hours to see everything in the castle and there are lots of stairs. Given that this was a castle and grounds that was occupied since about 700 AD by various archbishops it is very impressive and was our favorite site. We then went down from the castle and had a nice lunch at an Austrian restaurant with bratwurst and sauerkraut. The restaurant was on the horse carriage tour so we heard the clip clop of horse hooves while we dined. We then went over to St. Peters cathedral, cemetary and atrium and looked at the sepulchres and the catacombs. In the sound of music film, this is where Maria and the children hid from the Nazis. The catacombs are quite small with only two large rooms, but the view down is cool. We then went back to the entrance of the downtown area and thankfully grabbed the number 10 bus, and rode it back to our hotel area. We left town and got some oil for the rental caryes, leaks...😡33 euros per quart for the car and headed towards Unterneukirken. The highway follows the German Austrian border and goes through some of the most lovely fertile farm fields and forests glens I've ever seen. The corn is six feet tall. The grain has been mowed in most places and the fields are full of green luscious grass with an occasional pasture of cows grazing contentedly. The Raspl restaurant was completely full, and the hotel is lovely. We had a late dinner with some delicious dark beer and bruchetta salmon and tomato toast.      Leia mais

      Abfahrt 05:00, freie Autobahn bis kurz vor der Grenze zu 🇦🇹. Diesmal haben ¾ der Autoinsassen geschlafen bzw. "nur kurz die Augen zu gehabt!"
      Kurz nach Acht waren wir dann schon in der Altstadt und haben uns auf den Weg zur Bergbahn der Hohensalzburg gemacht. Die "All-Inklusive-Tour" mit allen Museen und Räumen war wirklich toll, natürlich auch weil wir so gut wie allein waren! Nach der Burgbesichtigung ging es noch eine große Runde durch die Altstadt, bevor es weiter zur nächsten Unterkunft ging.Leia mais
