"Organization team Naija/Zane"
Three countries, two castles, a castle and an exit
Countries of course only federal States are meant, after all we had time only a single day (and much).
With the parking lots at the meeting in Baden, the Schloss Weikersdorf, has not completely folded at the first glance, but ultimately then far better than hoped for: because the originally envisioned was otherwise engaged, we parked as well just how official the entrance perfectly what went out: last participants drive the driveway was clogged so joyful that anyway no one involved without stylish automobile could have.
Stylish, however, this time 17 cars were (in addition to many Jaguar an Austin 1100 and a Mazda MX-5), the sunny number corresponded quite the weather, breakfast held with loose, no one left so hungry at 9:00.
The route took us from Baden about WR. Neustadt and the Neunkirchner Avenue up to the Semmering, once a popular tourist destination, as the holiday was still summer and was entered due to lack of further dissemination of the automobile by train or coach. At that time the station was sure highly animated, while the road was hardly used, on Saturday of our exit that was rather vice versa. We passed through the southern railway hotel, were allowed to speculate a bit about it, whether it still once at least a little something its former glory is may radiate, and hotel of Panhans contributed to then. There was going to be drunk flink because organizers Marion and Wolfgang looked very carefully on it that us the schedule not rolled over, but we him.
A little later we sat in Pöllauberg at 750 m above sea level in the Sun and thought hate it that we a few days later would sit in the snow, after all, the weather forecast for the middle of the week had predicted snowfall down to 700 m. So long but nobody sat us in the garden, although we really gave us trouble, the menu off and enjoy through the food supply.
In the afternoon cultural program was, we were told of subtly condensed leadership (the schedule) at Castle Forchtenstein. The question of the tour guide, what she should report, was managed by a here not closer called "sex and crime, the rest can omit them." be never-ending Club member without beating around the Bush with in General interesting cars - at least we from former learned the impact (the final Lord had about 27 children), by out but eh also, it was finally the time where everyone who held on to , came in armed conflicts for the lives, the death in bed was not so highly regarded.
Strengthened by all sorts of stories of the castle we could skip so also to the evening program. It was exactly 94 km of Forchtenstein, stood at the end of the last stage of the inner courtyard of Castle Halbthurn, with its gravel of the perfect sound for our arrival was ready: Knirschender gravel under the tires of noble cars, this is the soundtrack dignified arrival.
Also our dining room, one was dignified and other calorie has been ordered, only around 22:00 the round broke up completely. That there are rather few night open filling stations in the vicinity of the Castle, still was two teams, but it doesn't belong here now really.
