Grüß Gott from Linz!
We rolled into Linz this afternoon after a stop in Melk to visit the Benedictine abbey fortress there. Melk Abbey is an incredible site and an absolutely beautiful place. It has been in continuous use as an abbey by the Benedictines since 1059 and the place is in great shape after some careful maintenance and a few well-planned restorations over the last 1200 years. Most of the pictures with this post are of the Melk Abbey but they didn't allow photography in the ...
