4 days before my visit in Brno the essayist and politician Václav Havel died. Many places in the city were covered with candles, photos, letters and even drawings. It’s impressive to see that a person has found its place in the hearts of the people, isn’t it? It reminds me of we all should do something to find our place in someones heart.
Some facades I came across near the railway station of Brno. In cities with railway stations built around 1900 one can see a lot of fascinating architecture near these stations. Therefore I love to stroll around these quarters and to take photos like these ones.
Having lunch at a Czech dining car: Marinated Beef Sirloin served with bread dumplings (‘Svíčková na smetaně s houskovými knedlíky’).
On my train journey to Brno, I passed the Gasometer City in Vienna. Can you see the modern houses inside the structures of former gas holders?
My 10th day of my InterRail journey started in Vienna. From my train to Brno I had an excellent view of the huge construction site for the new Vienna Central Station (Wiener Hauptbahnhof).
10th day of my InterRail Journey: A visit in Brno, Czech Republic. A Czech EuroCity is waiting for me in Vienna.
The 1st class coach of the Czech train was one of the cosy ones. No big tables, only folding tables in the back of the seats.
Power outlets were only at a few of the seats available. I liked the train though as there was a great dining car with Czech specialities at the next coach.
The 9th day of my InterRail journey ended at the railway station Wiener Westbahnhof in Vienna. It was nearly midnight when I arrived. Only the statue of Elisabeth of Austria (‘Sisi’) bid me welcome.
The face of Santa Claus made of kinds of mosses found at the Christmas market of Merano.
Interesting place to spend your wait at the railway station of Innsbruck: The infopoint about the Brenner Base Tunnel. Have you ever visited a construction site of a tunnel?
The 8th day of my InterRail trip ended in Innsbruck. The idea to travel from the Baltic Sea to the Alps was implemented. By the way the two artworks at the railway station were created by Max Weiler. More…
A detail I really love: On my way from Hamburg to Munich a lady boarded the ICE and sold Brezel until she left the train at the next station. I was told in summer they are selling ice cream instead. Nice idea, isn’t it? Is there a similar service in your region too? More…
My first stop on my 8th day of my InterRail journey: Lübeck. I just love these halls of old railway stations. You?
