Assault on the Senses
Music that smells and walking on light, amongst other things. Write up to come. It is now many moons since we were in Linz, so my recollections will be less detailed than usual. We took the train to Linz and went to an exhibition called Sinnes Rautsch. ...
Linz an der Donau
... direction is completely whacked in this city. Firstly I went to the Linzer Dom, or Marien Dom, the largest cathedral in Austria. I found it to be a lot more powerful than Stephansdom, but this could be because this one wasn't covered in scaffolds and ...
Linzer Torte stop off
... same shuttle bus. Main square was nice. A few more old buildings and churches. Saw a weird green floating disc shaped pontoon that was apparentlya gift from somewhere... Ate Linzer torte in Linz which was probably the highlight of my 3 hours in Linz :) ...
Great Couple of Days
Let's see, where did I leave off? Oh yea, we were heading toward Regensburg on the Maine - Danube Canal. And a canal it is. The locks are as high as 24 meters...some-78 feet. We went through several, and a guy came on board to tell us how the locks ...
Following the Danube
... surprised at the lack of people for a Saturday afternoon, perhaps an indication of a less populated region of Austria. Went looking for photo opportunities and continued to Linz. I was informed the closest site to Linz is 8Km SE in the town of St ...
Living in Linz
... Our plans to cover more museums were running out of daylight, so we rushed off to the Lentos museum which had a 'Best of Austria' exhibition happening. This place wasw quite interesting, of course it was all modern art so some of it was total trash. But ...
The hills aren't alive, but they're pretty great.
... we have seen so far. Then we walked around Linz a little bit and got some food for the train from some street markets. Linz was way prettier then we expected it to be-- the book talks about it as an industrial town, but the main street/square was ...
Ich bin gut danke
today we got up bright and early (after being awake for 7 hours due to some loud american snoring!) and caught the trian to linz. turns out rex doesn't mean the regional express train, its the train that stops at every single station so it took twice as ...
Linz Winter Learning
... settle into a routine soon enough. But for now, I can pretend I'm still on holidays until I get started for real ;) This weekend I'll check out the sights of Linz properly, and report them to you! Tschüss, and cyas later! ...
Last of Linz...?
... I think everyone else did too? They also gave me a farewell gift, comprising of an Austrian cookbook and a book about Linz! I was truly touched, awwww :3 The next morning I was touched by hangover, but still went for breakfast in the raab mensa ...
Orchids in the train - LINZ
... and brought me and my heavy rucksack to his flat at the Danube, a perfect location for students. I´m favourably taken aback from Linz, this seems to be really nice and features a lovely old town. After going out for a Austrian meal yesterday, we were ...
Lovely Linz
... sneak something out? Obviously not! He also slept for his entire journey, which was about one hour. Another hour later I arrived in Linz, and I think the train station here is much prettier than the ones I saw in Vienna. Maybe that's because Linz has ...
In Linz beginnt's
... ; *** Nach ausreichend Grossstadtluft ziehen wir weiter nach Oberoesterreich, statten Foeps, einem Freund in Linz, und damit der Stahlstadt einen Besuch ab. Uebers Wochenende ausreichend Zeit fuer Stadterkundung durchwandern wir ...
Salzburg has Fucking, Linz has Rottenegg
Yes, there is a town near Linz called Rottenegg, and no, sadly, I didn't make the trip out for this one. Linz...well, what is there to say about the former residence of Adolf Hitler, really? There's not a whole lot to do in Linz in Winter, or in general ...
Die Reise beginnt ...
... Vorbereitung ist vorüber, endlich gehts los. Anreise Linz - Frankfurt - Singapur Linz - Frankfurt Am Abend gings los von Linz nach Frankfurt, der Flug war schnell vorüber. In Frankfurt bemerkten wir die Ausmaße des Flughafens, wir mussten das Terminal ...
Back at Home - THE END
Nach der ca. 30 stündigen Heimreise sind wir zurück, es ist tatsächlich Winter, kaum zu glauben. ...
Linz: Be There One Day
... of the trip into Linz was relatively uneventful, bringing us into the Hbf much later than we had expected this morning, around 3pm. Linz's tram system is a shadow of what I hope it used to be; there is effectively only 1 line through the centre of ...
one hour in Austria
Today we took the train from Cesky Krumlov to Munich, and on the way we had to switch trains in Linz, Austria. With the EU no borders policy, when you go from one EU country to another, you no longer get your passport stamped. (Sad for me, as I like to ...
Linz - part two
... of early the next morning. The ride was uneventful – gotta love the European train system – particularly in Austria and Germany. I met up with my friend Robert Rzeszut from business school and he showed me around Vienna a little ...
We saw Arnold´s mum
... in Austria, although an hour later we crossed the Donau, and we were back in Germany again. It was a bit confusing. Ah, Austria, the trail is silky smooth, with special bikers cafes and pubs on the track. Paul is singing Sound of Music tracks and ...
Linz, Austria
Hi all, as Linz is not a rest day, I will put the story on Linz in my Vienna update. Cheers ...
Linz Sightseeing
... €40 per night and I said I could do better elsewhere. So I spent the night in Vienna, where I was headed anyway. Linz citizens seem to be travellers themselves. Every time I got the camera out to snap a photo, regular people on the street would ...
Linz
We spent a day of biking along the gorgeous Danube. It is really interesting to see all the small villages and old churches. We also saw a castle that was built into the hill ...
back home
So, das war's also nun mit unserem kleinen Ausflug. Inzwischen hab ich eine Platte und 5 Schrauben im Arm und bin froh, dass ich mich in Österreich operieren lies und es nicht weiter mit Gips probiert habe. Schön langsam gewöhnen wir uns auch ...
Linz - part one
I know it is cliché-ish for me to call Austria fairy tale land, but it truly is. Even Linz, which often gets a bad rap for being very industrial, is divided by the Danube River, along which is a beautiful park with walking trails, and is surrounded by ...
Losing my virginity
... was leaving us in the afternoon, but it didn't quite turn out like that... We went on a boat trip on the Rhine, destination Linz. A perfect Sunday trip, a couple of hours on the boat to Linz and then a couple of hours in the cute little town of Linz. Not ...
Camping in Linz.
... a dam to cross over. the Ship traffic is noticeably busier and the locks are in use. I decide to head an extra 12 kms to Linz which has a campsite and a hostel and reckon to get there about 3.30. Have a bit of a nightmare as the campsite is closed, I ...
Los geht's
So, der letzte Abend in gewohnter Umgebung ist gekommen. Morgen in der früh geht's los - schön langsam steigt die Nervosität. In der WG wird es zum Abschied heute noch einmal Wein aus Österreich und ein gutes Hoffstettner Bier geben. Denke, dass wird ...
Updates
... I and friends attended. It was a lot of fun! We got all dressed up, Hollie curled my hair, and we went to the Brucknerhaus in Linz where the ball was held. It was a beautiful set up- Brucknerhaus is a venue right on the Danube River with floor to ceiling ...
