A few afternoon and evening shots, with many more to come in the coming days.
About this place, Mark Twain said,
This is the charmingest place we have ever lived in for repose and restfulness, superb scenery whose beauty undergoes a perpetual change from one miracle to another, yet never runs short of fresh surprises and new inventions. We shall always come here for the summers if we can.
Indeed.
Returned to a spectacular hike up to Leopoldsberg and through the Wienerwald to Kahlenberg. The trail for me started at the terminus of the U4 at Heilingenstadt, with a lengthy stroll along the Danube and its many cruise ships, then up the very steep Nasenweg (named for the nose-like profile) with its beautiful views of river, vineyards, and Wien.
A second transit ride on the Wiener Linien via bus 38a and U4 again took me to Schöttenring, then by foot past some real life train set trams on a turnaround and on to the best (IME) gelato in (Vienna? Austria? The world?).
A final stroll around Kärtnerstrasse and Graben wrapped the sunny day’s wandering.
