The Danubisn plain east of Vienna
On the train
Arriving at Hainsburg
Very long way from Vienna to Istanbul
At a local restaurant
Vienna Gate
Pointing the way
Lots of recent tree falls, perhaps a rough winter or a more recent storm.
Great views to Hainburg from a rocky outcrop 700 feet above town
Ridge-top blooms
Views west from the Hundheimer ridge
Summit marker
Open on weekends, I presume
Halfway down
Not a jackhammer; the loudest woodpeck ever
Back to town
In a front yard
Castle entrance
The inner courtyard
West Castle wall
Hundheimer (first climb today) ascent from the steeper north side (right), more gentle descent to the south
The Austrian flag on the Castle tower
The walled city, below
Third trail snail this trip
