Trip Moments in Palfau

Austria is amazing, but I really don't recommend going in September—because it's just too healing.

Austria is amazing, but I really don't recommend going in September—because it's just too healing.

“Before I left, people advised me against visiting Austria in September🍂, saying it's an awkward time between late summer and early autumn—no more summer flower fields, but not yet deep autumn with red leaves—a total waste of airfare.”@wander_ethical · 28 days ago

Started the morning in Kutná Hora, an old silver mining town. Visited St. Barbara’s Church. From an engineering perspective, the structural design of the Gothic flying buttresses is highly impressive. The area was quiet, with very few tourists around. For a quick lunch, I found a small street-side tavern away from the main path. Had a plate of local pork stew and bread for about 240 CZK (around 4 OMR). Simple, heavy food. After lunch, we drove for exactly 4 hours to reach Linz, Austria's third-largest city. It’s a major industrial center—they supply parts for Mercedes-Benz here. It felt much more industrial than touristy. By 19:30, we walked into the New Cathedral. It is a massive structure, built to hold up to 20,000 people. There was a sermon and organ music playing. I didn’t understand the language, but the acoustic engineering of the high ceilings made the sound incredibly clear and calming. Walked back to the hotel around 21:00. The temperature dropped to 17°C, which is freezing for someone used to Muscat weather. Total steps logged today: 14,200.
