We took a company trip to Krems in Lower Austria - loads of vinyards there.

As part of the event we took a 20k trip by bike along the Danube. I was a bit apprehensive, because I hadn't sat on a bike for 15 years or more. Thanks to the sedate pace (took us 90 minutes) and the forgiving route with few climbs I actually made it all the way, out of shape as I am.


Beautiful scenic route, though, along the river, with little picture postcard towns, steep hills with vinyards on both sides of the Danube, and several castle ruins, including Dürnstein, where Richard Lionheart was held captive.

Pictured: Dürnstein, with the destroyed castle on the hill.



Fortunately, it was followed by dinner at a Heuriger. Wine was from the vinyard, obviously, and there was (as is tradition) bread, cheese, cold cuts - all products from small local producers, and really very delicious. And to top it off, Grandma's cakes (instead of a menu we received a small handwritten note listing the cakes available that evening, with some crossed out, and she explained all of them when we had questions). :mmm:

Beautiful. I want to hike along the upper Danube valley in the Swabian Jura region in two weeks.

It's the Wachau, one of the prettier areas of Austria.



@Zanza: That sounds great. :)

Parachute off of Perrine Bridge. Twin Falls. Yes, I saw Evel Knievel's jump site, but my battery was dead.
