Let’s play “Guess the movie”! This photo was taken at that castle where I created a painting with some coffee and gold leaf. There is still some gold at my finger, so about which movie I am speaking?

Coffee art at Lockenhaus Castle
After taking a lesson in Latte Art, I did it again: making art with coffee. At Lockenhaus Castle, I took a class in painting with coffee and gold led by the Austrian artist Stefanie Moro. I “klimt” the Iron Maiden I saw in the castle vault.
Room Elisabeth at Lockenhaus Castle
At Lockenhaus Castle, I stayed in the room “Elisabeth”. Whereas the room was old-fashioned furnished, the bathroom was pretty modern. It was a corner room, so I had a great view of the place of Lockenhaus and parts of the castle itself.
Leaning tower of Pisa in Rechnitz
At the Apartment Hotel Loigge in Rechnitz, where I took a painting lesson, I came across this artwork made of a root. It could be a suitable explanation for why the Leaning Tower of Pisa still stands today.
An Austrian wine named Uhudler
At a wine store in Bildein, I tried an intriguing Austrian wine named Uhudler. This wine, with its flavours of strawberry and black currant, has a stunning story to offer. It was even against the law for several years!
Early birds vs early cats in Kukmirn
‘The early bird gets the worm’, but the early cat gets the breakfast! A fun experience while staying in Kukmirn, a pretty rural place in the Austrian state Burgenland.
Hotel Tauernstüberl in Zell am See
The hotel is situated at a street between Zell am See and Kaprun. The train station of the Pinzgau Railway is near the hotel so one can have a ride to the Krimml Wasserfälle on the spot. The hotel offers a spa area in the basement of a second building opposite the street.
Lake Zell in Pinzgau
Right next to the Zell am See railway station, I had this view of the Zeller See (Lake Zell) and the nearby mountains. During the cold period of the year, it is frozen and used for winter sports like skating. It even supplied breweries with ice to cool their products in earlier times.
Do not disturb sock
Fun! On my trip to Zell am See, I stayed at the Hotel Tauernstüberl. This hotel used socks as “Do Not Disturb” signs at its room doors. This sock is a kind of pun. In German, “You are a lazy sock” means someone is a bit lazy.
Sundial in Zell am See
You find this sundial on a building in the Austrian city of Zell am See. A rooster and an owl represent morning and evening. Whereas the painting seems modern, the town offers several buildings dating back to the Middle Ages.
Hotel Mitteregger in Kaprun
The hotel is situated in Kaprun not far away from the car museum Vötter. The origins of the building date back to the 15th century so it is known as the oldest inn of Kaprun. The rooms are in rural style.
Museum of Local History in Kaprun
At the Museum of Local History (Kaprun Museum), I was told about influences that have shaped Kaprun and its surroundings.
