Nationalfeiertag in Hallstatt
China ist ja schoen und gut, aber zum Nationalfeiertag am 26. Oktober mussten wir als stolze Oesterreicher einfach zurueck in die Heimat. Also nichts wie ins Flugzeug und ab nach Hause. Welcher Ort wuerde sich besser dazu eignen den Nationalfeiertag zu feiern als das malerische Hallstatt?
