After spending most of my vacations further abroad in the past few years, the Corona crisis made me explore my home country Austria in more detail. Luckily, there are a lot of beautiful places to be found even that close to home.

Between a rock and a wet place
Today, I took a walk down memory lane: After about a quarter of a century, I visited Hochosterwitz Castle again. In the afternoon, I took advantage of the good weather, and went stand-up paddling on Lake Ossiach. Continue reading Between a rock and a wet place
