As usual we had our summer vacation in Fiss.
|
Dinkelsbühl. On our journey to Austria we stayed one night in Dinkelsbühl. A little town along the "Romantische Strasse" in Germany (Bavaria). The town has a well preserved city center with the mediaval city walls still intact. If you think away the cars and the traffic signs, you could be a few centurious back in time. The first picture shows the Marktplatz (marketplace) with a view to the Norlingerstrasse. Beautiful facades. Amongst others, the second picture shows wine market with the famous "Deutsches Haus", a hotel. A beautifil timbered building. The third picture shows the Segringer tor. One of the 18! towers on the city walls. In the fourth picture a part of the city walls with the Faulturm. Made the photo just outside the Rothenburger Tor. Date: 07-08-2011 |

Picture 5 Rainbow At the end of our second day in Fiss we had a short thunderstorm with heavy rains. After the rains the sun came back and we had a beautiful, double, rainbow. After the rains the weather decided to be very friendly for us for the rest of our stay. Date: 09-08-2010 |

Picture 8
From Fiss to Ladis Between Fiss and Ladis they build an artificial lake as a water storage for the snow canons in the winter. It promises to become a very nice spot. Date: 11-08-2011 |

Picture 9 and 10
Fiss Innsbruck, Ambras The weatherforcast wasn´t too good for this day, so we decided to go Innsbruck and visit the "Schloss Ambras". Well the forecast wasn't too good either, so we had a very nice day without rain. The 15th of August is a national holiday in Austria and that day are the yearly castle festivities in Schloss Amras. So free entrance and a lot of activities in the castle. The first picture shows a part of the chambers of armour. The second picture shows one of the special activities, ancient music, singing and dance. Date: 15-08-2011 |
