Here´s a view of Himmelstraße in the 19th district: on the left side a wayside shrine, on the right side the spire of the Grinzing parish church. Grinzing was integrated into the city of Vienna in 1892, the reputation of this area is based on its viticulture and numerous Heurige (wine taverns where the most recent wine is served).

Grinzing is a lovely village. I have walked there several times from Nussdorf. I need to explore it a lot more and the area around.
ReplyDeleteI also love to walk from Nussdorf to Grinzing or vice versa. It´s such a change to the area where I live ;-)
ReplyDeleteWould you be interested in seeing photos I shot on a walk I did with my brother in law in September 2009? the walk took us from Percgtoldsdorf to Mariazell. It was over five days and 135K. Boots on our feet and bags on our backs, it was tough going but worth every step. It was one of the best holidays I have ever had and I cannot wait to do another one somewhere in Austria.
ReplyDeleteThat should read Perchtoldsdorf!
