Ummm, the description is wrong. This is NOT Mozart's house. However, this IS a great fortress. Take the tour which comes with a well done audioguide. The views from the top of the fortress are stunning!

I am scared of heights and rode the cable car. It did not sway in the wind. There was still plenty of snow on the mountain when we went. Check out the cafe at the top. Take your camera!

Well, we are changing the trip. After looking at how long we would spend on the train, we decided to go with a more laid back approach and spend more time "sedentary". So, we are going to Vienna, Graz, and Salzburg. Part of our time in Vienna will be spent on the Danube, and we will do some hiking in the Salzburg area. If anyone has any must see hiking areas, please feel free to share.

I found an apartment in Vienna. I will start recording information in the journal and let people know how the apartment was. It is located very close to the Danube canal and very close to the center of town. The price was VERY reasonable, and it will be nice to have so much room and privacy. More later...
