Recently we've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to see a bit more of Austria. Thanks to friends and family (and their cars!) we've experienced a weekend stay at a castle and also seen what types of houses and homesteads 18-19th century Austrians lived in. Here are some pictures to give you an idea of what we saw!
First off is our trip to the Castle of Fintergrün (literally 'dark' or 'gloomy' green). Richi and Sabine met us part way and then took us through the winding roads of Styria just over the boarder into the province of Salzburg. After checking in, we checked out the castle with all its fasinating nooks and crannies. Then we took a walk in the forest where we learned about the long and somewhat rich history of silver mining in the immediate area. Here are some pictures:
