My holidays in Bizau – Part II

admin June 13th, 2007

One of the first places we went to visit was Feldkirk, because we were curious to see it, since our guide book was promoting it as “very nice old town with a castle on top of a hill”. On the road to get there we stopped in “Damuls” one of the several typical mountain villages you can find in Austria. It was a pleasant stop, and we could relax there in the afternoon.

The wonderful landscape you see in the photo below was taken from a small path nearby…

resuming our trip, more great landscapes like the mountains below were absolutely normal. We would have liked to stop behind every road turn to take pictures of those places from every possible angle!

at last, we reached Feldkirk, and I must admit that our guide book was right. The town is magnificent, rich of renovated old buildings like the one below. If only all the towns were like that!

A very funny place was a local wine-shop (photo below) , that had a giant barrel framed in the outside wall! it was a funny but at same time majestic view.

In the photo below instead you can see the Feldkirk’s Castle, not so great like the others I’ve seen in Bavary, but surely not bad either.

Of course there were plenty of interesting things to see, like churches or squares. However we wasted too much time in the morning exploring Damuls surroundings, so we had only the time to take a quick look. From what I could see, Feldkirk is a town worth checking out for sure.
