On the World Heritage Trail from Krems to Dürnstein
By Reinhard Mandl* With its picturesque terraced vineyards, dry-stone walls, and well-preserved villages, the Wachau is a true work of art. I travel from Vienna Heiligenstadt via Absdorf-Hippersdorf on the “Kremser Ast” branch of the Franz-Josefs-Bahn without changing trains to Krems, the starting point of the Wachau World Heritage Trail. The first stage of this […]

Graz – From The Clock Tower To The Science Tower
By Reinhard Mandl* Spring begins earlier in Graz than in other parts of Austria. While grey showers still sweep across the city in Vienna, people are already sitting in beer gardens in Graz.

Eisenstadt – Small But Great!
By Reinhard Mandl* Esterházy Castle can be seen from afar on the route from Wulkaprodersdorf to Eisenstadt: It sits slightly elevated on the foothills of the Leitha Mountains overlooking Eisenstadt, the capital of Burgenland.
