Linz
Monday, May 07, 2012
Took the train up to Linz on Upper Austria, a lovely city on the banks of the Danube.
Hitler wasn't born here, that took place a few km away, but he spent his childhood roaming the alleys and lanes of the town and quite considered it home. I don't know what turned a young Bavarian boy into a homicidal maniac but it can't have been the views which are stupendous.
Walked up to the top of the hill to see a wonderful vista of the Danube sweeping around the city. Saw when I got to the top that there was a tram which came all the way up from the town square. Well it was a nice walk anyway.
