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.

Very nice updates, yansa. I can really feel your beautiful artistic sensibility
Really sad to hear that yansa. Evening at dusk I love listening to the song of the blackbird .I just had a very black day yesterday, because one of my half tame pigeons,
"Caruso" (who sings so beautifully in the morning
legs in a damxxxxx thread (maybe a piece of dental floss), and this could
mean that he loses one or several toes, could mean his death as well,
if he can't get rid of the dxxxxx thread.
me sick and causes me the same pain he has.
Today I haven't seen him yet, hope he will come again and somehow
That's wonderful, very nice updates yansa! Life is good in these photos! I specially like the "sun door", the beautiful color of flowers, fortified church, and the superb butterfly.
That really beautiful update, yansa! You play with the cloud and that's superb kay:
