Strolling around a railway station
Generally tourists tend to leave a railway station as quick as they can. They hurry down to the metro or they are looking for a cheap bus or a quick taxi in order to get to their hotel.
The charm of understanding nothing
I speak German and English. I understand a bit Romance and Slavonic languages. I don’t understand Hungarian. Not a single word. But I loved to listen to the loudspeakers at the railway station Keleti Pu in Budapest. Listening to a completely foreign language is like listening to music, isn’t it?

While walking through the railway station Keleti pályaudva ‘Keleti Pu’ I came across this chandalier. It was not the only one which was decorated with a crow. I guess, it is a method to scare the pigeons off. What do you think?

Railway station Semmering
On my train trips to Vienna I often pass the railway station Semmering. Generally I see the station just from my train window. On a hiking tour I got this different view. Looks misty, doesn’t it? By the way the blue-white rail car in the background is a diesel rail car ÖBB 5144.
Abandoned railway station of Schlierbach
On my way to Schlierbach Abbey I came across the abandoned railway station of Schlierbach. Austrian railway stations dating back to he monarchy are very typical. One can recognizes them even after 100 year.
