Biking Along the Danube River Again!

I think my new favorite family activity is biking on the Danube River :)

We spent another amazing after afternoon along the Danube River with friends!  This time we biked on the more popular (hence, also busier) side of the River.  We started in the town of Spitz and rode all the way to Durnstein--15 km away!  We stopped along the way at St. Michael's Church and at a Heuriger/Restaraunt where the adults enjoyed wine and the kids enjoyed the playground.  Upon arriving in Durnstein we had some delicious handmade ice cream and then headed to playground, with the castle ruins in the background.  The dads stayed with the kids and the rest of the adults rode the 15 km back to Spitz to get the vans and pick up the rest of the crew before heading home! 

So thankful for family, friends, and the beauty all around!

Day on the Danube

Two weeks after arriving back in Austria, we're readjusted to the time change and ready for a little travel.

We took a short trip to the beautiful Danube River about 45 minutes from Gaming.

We started in the town of Emmersdorf where we got on a boat.

We got off the boat in the town of Spitz - where we saw a castle!

We enjoyed lovely views of the Danube as we hiked up to the castle.

We made it to the very top of the tower!

Then back down we went to the train station.

We all loved the train ride back along the Danube - especially Francis :)

It's good to be back in Austria! :)
