One more to the Mutterland!

Here are some pictures I took in Austria that didn't find their way to my blog because I didn't have time or couldn't be bothered with the slow internet connection.

This here is Castle Burg Altpernstein, some 30 mins. from my parents' house.

Me, standing near the source of the River Krems

Cycling through the small township of Micheldorf in the vicinity of which there are some very nice cycle paths.

This is the secondary school I went to from 1994 to 1998.

Sunset in the township of Schlierbach, where my brother and my dad went to school.

Sailing boats on Lake Attersee

Me on Mt. Schoberstein

Nostalgic steam engine at the train station Rohr - Bad Hall, where I used to commute from between 1998 and 2003.

Standing under the Eiffel Tower without leaving Austria? That's possible. In the 'Minimundus' village of architectural models of landmarks from all over the world.

Inside the AEC (Ars Electronica Centre) in Linz, a museum of innovative electronic applications which is renowned throughout the world. Here you can enjoy virtual flights over Austrian cities.

...and this here is the 'robotic chair', a chair that has the ability to re-assemble itself after being disassembled, using its sensors.

The outdoor pool of Kremsmunster, where I spent hours and hours of my childhood

The landscape of one of my favourite routes for walks at nighttime.

Great fresco in the abbey church of Wilhering Abbey

On my last outing before leaving Austria I went to the Czech Republic. This here is the Abbey of Vissy Brod.
