However, I did not have more time as my night train from Vienna did not arrive until after 8.00 a.m., and my next night train (to Montenegro) already left at 10.10 p.m. Still, I had enough time to get a first impression of the city.

Exploring the Hohe Wand
The Hohe Wand is an elevated plateau South of Vienna. On one side, it has quite steep cliffs which are, quite probably, responsible for its name (in German, "Hohe Wand" means "high wall"). It is very popular with rock climbers, and paragliders. Continue reading Exploring the Hohe Wand

Skadar Lake
Today, I went on another guided tour, this time to Skadar Lake. However, I could not profit of the commentary of our tour guide – it was all in Russian. But Skadar Lake is enjoyable even (or especially?) without comment. Continue reading Skadar Lake
