Seems a charming place to be, I'm loving to see descriptions and photographs, thanks for sharing 
Krems - Old Town Charm in Lower Austria
Krems (1)
Hi! A few days ago I did a half day trip to the small town Krems, which is situated
at the Danube and can be seen as the door to world famous Wachau. The climate
is mild and the region is famous for wine. Yet the main reason for my trip was not
the wine but the beautiful old town of Krems. I saw this town last time about 20 years ago,
and I did not much preparation for this little journey. Just took the train and looked
for the wonders that might wait for me in Krems.
I brought three or four photos from there... :lol: - so let me show you the pics and tell you
the story of my little Krems adventure.
First the train is rolling through the vast plain of Tullner Feld, before reaching a long,
not very high hill called "Wagram". This hill consists of glacial loess which is a perfect ground
for vineyards.
Here we see a typical railway station in a rural environment in Lower Austria - Kirchberg am Wagram:

Again from the train I took a pic of the loess terraces of Wagram. The little houses
build what we call a "Kellergasse" - nice rows of small buildings with only one purpose - wine.

Finally, after one hour's trip from Vienna, we have reached our destination:
Krems, we are coming!

(You see that I talk to you like a tourist guide, you shall feel like being taken
by the hand and make this little journey with me.)
We step out of the railway station and find ourselves under a kind of long roof
which surely makes sense to protect passengers who move to taxi or bus from the rain...

... but first it hides from us what we see when we reach the end of the construction:
A first glance into the old town of Krems! :banana:

It's a hot day, but I'm sure you will climb any mountain with me to get nearer
to this very, very promising historic buildings up there.

After seeing your recent photographs from this wonderful town&country paradise, I can only say: I'm moving to Krems in 3, 2, 1...
I'm deeply interested in old cellars, vineyards and everything else about this part of Austria, so please stay with the parade of lifeNext I would have... about 50 pics of a Kellergasse (Winecellar Lane) in Hadersdorf am Kamp.
For me it was one of the best days of the year so far, but I'm not so sure
if anyone else is interested so much in old cellars, vineyards and details
like old walls, doors and wild flowers.
The Krems thread in general does not seem to find so much interest as before,
so I'm a little unsure and as a precaution I ask if anyone wishes
a continuation inclusive a little excursion into the desertedness of the
Hadersdorf Kellergasse on a hot August day.
It's instructive to see these many faces of Krems and vicinity: so many diversity around... the prison, the medieval blocks, those cars parked in narrow streets, the flowers and the graffitti... almost all faces of urban dimension in a limited space, trying to live together, after all
Great colection, and when you wrote about you, clouds and "who chased who", I remembered an old song - north american, guess from 1930s or 1940s - with a beautiful title: I'm always chasing rainbows
Judy Garland was one of many talented artists that could sing it, and you can enjoy here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CMSjI-Znc4

Krems is like a fairy tale village coming to life, and I guess many films and tv productions could use it as set (if aren't already doing this - I would do).
Thanks for those details with bricks emerging from the wall, and the flowers, and the doors, and the green everywhere, and the cozy houses, and (the list could go on, all this day ).

My mother would love this photograph, because she loved butterflies (there are many, made with fabric, she left in her home):

This beautiful admiral (one of several) I found on a ivy hedge near the Stein jail...
