AUSTRIA Group Comments (25)

Beautiful And Breathtaking Austria!!

Hi everyone! I was very happy to see this group. I lived in Austria for eight years, situated in the Alps, it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, not just to visit, but to be able to live there is a real blessing! Living in Austria offers you the opportunity to visit the neighboring countries by driving there, because of just the border between them, so I have been to Italy & Venice, France, Spain, Germany several times, also Switzerland, and Slovenia, I also visited the UK and the US, but Western Europe has some of the best countries in the world to visit. I would like to travel to Budapest the capital of Hungary, and I hope to return to Austria soon to continue my life there. I returned to my Caribbean home country because I have a property to take care of and got stuck here when the Pandemic came. Thanks for the opportunity to be able to share the marvelous wonders of beautiful Austria!

Hello Bogart,

You are welcome here!

Hi New Members! Welcome!

Hi Tony,
I am glad you found pleasant people for Wien.
It must have been a nice journey of Eastern-Europe, and you are lucky if you can work in different places. Then you can see a lot of different parts of the world. Surely Pennsylvania is also a grandious place of the world.

Actually I am very satisfied if I can see Austria, next to our country-,it is still reachable for me.
But! I am very goal-orientated in travel, and fortunately it is my target country as I feel so that surroanding is one of my best subjects for my pittura and those mountains, waterfalls, villages, towns,culture, etc. that I need.

Of course there are other countries too I am interested in e.g. Scandinavia, France, Greece, England, but they are too far from reality for me this moment.

For this Summer I plan to have a nice hiking in the Alps of Austria, and with a more- persons cheerful company it would be very pleasant,( such a one that they do not definitely go everywhere together). I have organised some very nice hiking tours with friends or family.

RE: Hi New Members! Welcome!

Hi Maria, See the feel of Vienna is so real and strong. Today while at the gym I'm talking to one of the trainers and she tells me she's going to Vienna in May to listen to the 'sounds of music'. She said I'm welcome to go with her and and her mom. Now, seriously what are the odds of that conversation happening??

Anyway, I spend a long time in Riga, Latvia (twice)....a CS date.. We went to Estonia, Lithuania, Greece and Rome. It was a world of education for me and then some. I just love the Europeans thirst for travel to connect with other cultures. I agree, your all quite blessed over the pond. Every country that I read about has so much interest, art, architecture, history and of course music. Actually,Latvia is very classically orientated, spent many times at the symphony and the opera (thank god they have this streaming video in English).

I've been in PA for 27 years. It's a beautiful area of the country and has all 4 seasons that makes it 'ever changing'. But, there's a world out there to discover, it is so vast and fascinating to me. Haven't made any plans yet for 2013, but with my job I can work anywhere in the world as long as I'm 'connected'. Hope your enjoying your weekend.....

RE: Hello dear Cosmopolitan !

No! Of course not you! I ment Cosmopolitan, as you also addressed to her. But I also say: no problem! We talk here, even if she is not here. May be she is on vacation... In the Alps in Tyrol.

Hello dear Cosmopolitan !

You mean - me?

RE: Hello dear Cosmopolitan !

May be you have not visited our group since your registration as you did not answer. (?)
No problem.

RE: Why do you like Austria?

Why?..
My nice memories of places, people there. Zillertal villages and the Tiroler Abends!.. and Vienna !

Hi New Members! Welcome!

How do you feel in Pennsylvania?
Have you been living there for a long time?

Hi New Members! Welcome!

Welcome here, Sands!
I can absolutely understand why you feel a calling to Vienna, I also feel same about it . I have several precious personal memories about Vienna , the great culture of that city, and about my Mum, with whom I were there several times, and we appreciated together the atmosphere there.

Also I agree Western Europe is more ejoyable than Eastern Eu, inspite of that i love my country, Hungary has plenty of cultural values too.
Which Eastern European countries have you been to?

Ah, Italy! Wonderful! I have been there too a few times. First with my ex-husby on our honey- moon in Venice and a few other places! Greece - I am very interested in, as I have read a lot about her/its ancient history and I hope once I will see the places where those famous battles, etc. were set in.

Beyond Vienna I feel a strong affection for going again to that special hiking where I have been to , in Tirol, to the Wolf’s Gorge, which was a hard tour but elevating experience! ( a place of pilgrimage).
Just now I saw the movie (1985) Sissi,- you know ,about the life of Elisabeth (Franz Joseph’s wife) , starring with Romy Schneider, original Austrian places, mountains in the film.

Have a nice time here,

Maria

RE: Hi New Members! Welcome!

that should be privilege

RE: Hi New Members! Welcome!

Well thanks Maria for making me aware of this group. Being from the US, I had the privelidge of visiting Europe twice in the past year. Although, I spent most of my months in Eastern Europe I enjoyed western Europe much more. Greece more than Italy and I'm Italian. One of my goals was to get to Vienna and listen to the music that I hear is beautiful. It's almost like a calling to get there and like I've said to you maybe 2013 will be the time to listen. It's like a magnet, I don't know why. Thanks again, maybe I can get a little education here before I go.

Hello dear Cosmopolitan !

I can see you are from Tyrol, so if you read our threads I wrote about that Tyrol is one of my most favorite places in Austria . I have been there first the last summmer, and hiking became the highlight of my trip.
So, you have a sporty life! I hope we will still talk here well.
Have a nice time here! and Merry Christmas,

Maria

Hi New Members! Welcome!

I hope you will feel well here! I have invited ladies too, (probably they are busier before Christmas ?)
But you also can invite girls,too.
I am glad if you write a little about yourself or about your relations of Aaustria, your memories, experiences, etc.

Have a nice time here!

Maria

Our "Brothers in law"

Hi fellow !
Why do not you upload a photo of yours?

EVENINGS OF TIROL or:Tiroler Abend

I have been to Tirol this summer and I was lucky to see a local evening program of Tirol in a village there : TIROLER ABEND ( Zillertal folk music and dance with a lot of play in it. Fantastic good mood, public also ! I can offer it to anyone who once go to Tirol!
( I did not drink much, it would have been expensive...)
By the way, Mountains of Tirol were really amazing, 2000-3000 m high in Zillertal , I also enjoyed hiking!

RE: Our "Brothers in law"

Hello Maria!

I am also from Hungary! May be we know each other from the neighbor street or somewhere in this world-city...
So, I am here now, also an Austria -fan .

Our "Brothers in law"

" the Brothers in Law" - how we Hungarians call sometimes our neighbors: the Austrians, the neighbor country . Yes,it dates back to our common history,and several friendships, sometimes even marriages formed between us.

Those who have been to Austria,could see that how amazing sights receive the visitors: the magnificant huge mountains of the Alps, the charming smaller- larger towns,villages, or their capital, Wien /Vienna, where new styles meet the old traditions.

You can have several various personal memories, experiences in Austria from the Wiener coffee to the nice and helpful Wiener people,or about countryside: from the town of Mozart,Salzburg, or the unforgottable hikings in the Alps with crystal clean brooks and wild, romantic gorges , waterfalls, fresh air of the forests.

For me- that nature was unforgottable that I fond there. But I could mention the automata milk-stations that give fresh farm-milk 24 hours a day. The museums in Wien, or the sweet sounds of horses in the centre of the capital, next to the Castle (Burg).

And finally - I never would have thought how determining memory would be in my life: travelling and hiking in Tirol region.
The cheerful folk music you hardly can resist not to dance ( Tirol, Zillertal dances), Styria, Karinthia.

I do not tell now more as I have still so many nice memories that
I hardly could list them.
