Daytrip to Illmitz (Lake Neusiedl)

Seebad Illmitz

From Mistelbach it takes aprrox. 1,5 Hours drive to Illmitz at Lake Neusiedl. Take the new Motorway to Vienna and follow the Direction Budapest. In Weiden/Gols you leave the Motorway and you will find yourself immediately in the nature surrounding the lake.This region around the steppe lake, with over 2 000 hours of sunshine annually, is one of the most popular holiday areas in Austria. Now in October you will only meet some lonely tourists. You can count them on one hand! We decided to have a look at the Seebad in Illmitz and drove the long road from the center of the village to the beach. On our way back to the village, we parked the car where the sign to the donkeys is and made a nice walk between water and vinyards. In town we had lunch (Pike from the lake) at Gasthaus Zentral and a coffee at café Karl.

Hope for the weather to be better…

Lindenallee
That´s how the weather forecast is for the next days. Hopefully it will get better soon. With the wintery weather of the past days one has to force her/himself to go out in the fresh air, at least once or twice a day. With a Labrador dog things get easier, HE forces you to go out. Last Monday we had a very nice walk in Ladendorf in the Alley opposite of the Ladendorf castle. (Ladendorf is about 10 km from Mistelbach). Every time of the year is an experience, walking between two rows of more than 200 year old Lime (Linden) trees. We had coffee at Restaurant Steiner (closed on Tuesday)afterwards. In my personal rating the owner gets the price of the most unfriendly service in the region, but the food and drinks are always ok. And not having to answer the question:”Where do you come from” is also relaxing…

Wolf Science Center in Ernstbrunn

About 30 Km from Mistelbach in the Ernstbrunn Game Park there is a Wolf science Center of the University of Veterinary Medicine

This research center and exceptional wolf keeping facility is the place where the similarities between wolves, dogs and humans are explored.

The wolves are hand-raised by scientists and therefore have a close and trustful working relationship with them. They regularly participate in cooperative and cognitive tasks to study their mental abilities and to keep them physically and mentally busy which also benefits their welfare.

The Center has an interesting Program for visitors as there are:

Brigittas limited edition of liqueurs

After being forced to stop working (illness) Brigitta Pertschy discovered the art of making liqueurs with the fruits and herbs from her own garden. The production is limited as the label says: “Brigittas limited editions”. Because of the pureness she offers high quality liqueurs and sirups. To have an idea have a look at her website: www.brigittas.at or better order a bottle and taste the good stuff!

Film about the Wine District on ORF

Yesterday I saw a very nice Film from Alfred Vendl about the Wine District on national Television (ORF 2) . ORF offers a selection of his programs as video on demand.
