The Orga-team Claudia & Karl Schwoiser preparing a 2-day ride with much heart and meticulousness, going under the title 'JDOST summer trip 2016' in the anal. The targets are soon found - on the one hand generate the southern Burgenland as a target area and on the other, fun, pleasure and enjoyment for the physical and mental well-being.
From the book Mountain Observatory, the route leads up to the castle Lockenhaus on day 1, through the Wienerwald the Triestingtal, and Forchtenstein. On day 2 we continue Aschau and Gloggnitz to Puchberg/Schneeberg, where the ride ends.

Claudia & Karl Schwoiser distribute numbers, road book and lunch package - important organizational details are explained. Some intrepid use the book Mountain waiting to climb the opportunity prior to departure and to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic view.
At 11:00, it says "start your engines gentlemen", and the engines of 15 cars come to life. Regardless of whether 4 -, 6 -, 8 - or 12-cylinder. No matter whether in number or in V-arrangement. Whether mere 60 or powerful 300 HP. The sight of conjures up a smile in the face of the participants.
The first cars set in motion and a teeny-tiny carelessness (probably by the great joy and the resulting excitement) a participant missed the connection and cause a gap to the car in front gape - just so big that it is no longer in sight. Never mind. Let's go! First turn after 50 meters turn left... And now: the lemming effect! Full of confidence, all subsequent cars left scratch also the curve after! In the road book is big, bold, underlined, highlighted that it turn applies at this point right. Those who read already a roadbook? Especially not before the start - this is totally uncool! After the mishap discovered fast - reverse gear in, turn around, and it's now right path continues.
By Neulengbach, nest called 'nest' past about Innermanzing the route leads through the Woods. Austria first aid is provided by the Club Chairman an XJ6, because it comes by heat accumulation in the engine compartment to vapor lock in the fuel supply. After short stop and the engine hood-trick (what is this?) the kitten purrs continued to the next station, Gasthof Sauerzapf in Forchtenstein. Participants enjoy a delicious lunch and the car fresh air.
Enough live - it goes on! About the Rosalia in the Bucklige Welt up to our destination - the castle Lockenhaus, early home of the proud Knights of Templar and grisly work site of the blood Countess. Everything already a long time back.
The cars are strung diagonally parked within the medieval castle walls, at the foot of the old walls door handle to door handle. Not only the tired cars, also the depleted tour participants have more than deserves a break. After recently relaxing launches the exclusive castle tour. Is reported in detail about the architecture and history of the Castle and the history of the Knights of Templar. Fascinated by the mystical sanctuary and the story about the blood Countess in a suitable environment (torture chamber) can increase the blood in the veins.
Much was quaint cheerful robber eating to eat, drink, and laugh - the last guests friendly and definitely far after midnight by staff to bed rest. A beautiful, glorious first day comes to his end.
The second day begins with a hearty breakfast at the Castle Tavern. Some of those present window of opportunity to see the Castle and the exhibition again in peace.
Time to check out! Front of everybody: A speech of the Orga team with the most important information for the day, and it goes on to the cars. The weather is evident from his dark side - clouds, light drizzle and fresh air. Slowly a engine starts after another - the big cats of the dew-covered bags the still cold engines. The mob through the Castle gate rolls with warm past units.
Next stop: clock bar Aschau. A unique collection of tower clocks and roast Turners, restoration workshops and a library - collected, protected and operated by Mr. ing. Wolfgang Komzak. Very impressive, how much interesting here to see it and to hear from the owner there!
After recording a JDOST group photo drive away the cats coach to the restaurant Kupferkandl - just a stone's throw from the Museum.
The last stage of Pinggau, Exchange, and Gloggnitz leads tended after a lunch to Puchberg at Schneeberg. The change is probably change, because here the weather changes - suddenly pulls his clouds of the sky and lets the sun shine. The 2-day summer ride with goulash, iced coffee, or even with 'Ice Cream Hot love' sounds off in the garden of the rack Railway Room.
