Querfurt Castle in Saxony-Anhalt is a known location for historical movies. Thus, a costume designer has established a studio at the castle. At the Burgatelier Querfurt, Ms Anja Becker-Geipel produces not only the garb for the castle guides but also historical costumes for the movies.
Kleinwalsertal is one of the largest tourism destinations in Austria. How to avoid huge jams along the central streets? The Walserbus is a clever answer to this question. Each guest gets a guest card from his host valid for all lines between the state border and Baad.
The coach tour started on a rainy afternoon. Sitting on a coach on a cold day doesn’t sound that cozy but on the other hand they offered an intriguing add-on: There would be a wine tasting. Ok, that sounds heart-warming, doesn’t it?
Lermoos is a municipality in the Austrian state of Tyrol. You find it at the northern border of Tyrol. The photo above shows a view of the mountains nearby taken from the outskirts of Lermoos. The odd sign in the foreground refers to a former ancient Roman boardwalk across the swamp.
On a hiking tour near Klammstein, I come across an interesting place. Below Klammstein Castle (Burg Klammstein) there is a tunnel for bikers and walkers only. The structure is part of a cycle route along the Gastein Valley (Gasteinertal).
Glancing through my photos of my latest trip in Burgenland, I came across this pic. I took it from my room’s window early in the morning. Immediately I got the feeling from that morning again.
This silence. This beauty.
For me, a good travel photo is about emotions. It would not only describe the place the photographer had been. To a greater degree, it would catch the feelings the photographer had at that place.

A unique way to go up to the clock tower on top of a rock in the centre of Graz is taking this elevator. The lift connects a tunnel inside the rock with the plateau next to the clock tower of Graz. While going up in this glazed cab, one has an exciting view of the elevator illuminated in blue.
There are several paths up to Dürnstein Castle from the centre of the city. I took a more difficult one named donkey path.

On my way from Udine to the Austrian border I took an ordinary road through the Val Canale instead of the motorway and enjoyed a splendid view of the Alps. In some areas of Europe it is really better to drive slowly instead of racing along the motorways, isn’t it?
Photo of a sunset taken through the windows of my bus while leaving the harbour town Trieste in Italy. I was especially impressed by the reflections at the tops of the tower blocks. You?
