Loved your images, Matt.
What always strikes me as odd is that many people only seem to think that Austria is good for the snow and ski (which it is), but there are so many other ‘world class’; Europe’s greatest’; ‘biggest, best, firsts’, that it is truly an all year round destination with something for everyone.

If only I could get the message out to a few more folk….

Apparently it’s a University town, which may explain why I felt so at home there (I currently live in York). But the roofs. The *roofs*. Absolutely gorgeous when you get above the chimneytops and look down, tiles arranged in higgledy-piggledy waves, gorgeously-coloured in the sunlight (we were lucky there), so many houses looking like they’re wrought in gingerbread….

Loved it.

And yes, seeing the Kunsthaus on the skyline is….startling, isn’t it? :)

I studied abroad there twice, and would return in an instant at any opportunity that presented itself. I’ve seen all the sights you mentioned except for the Eagle Walk. I will definitely have to read more about it because I think a hike on the trail would be really enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!
