Salzburg, Austria

Summer is fast approaching, it is spring around Europe but the temperature hit to 29°-31° just now. Years ago, when I have visited the northern part of Austria, home of the famous musician and composer "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart", we took almost 3 hours from Vienna by car to get there. I never knew anything about this particular town. It could be a place where those things reminded me all what I've learned from school. 

This is the apartment where Mozart spend all his life. To pay tribute of his works and worth enough your visit, you have to pay atleast 8€ to get inside and take a tour. It is very captivating place. Great music and great artist in his time until to today's generation.

It was a great opportunity to see on the other hand the actual location and shooting of "The Sound of  Music" musical show. On top of that mountain, the Mirabel palace built on 17th century are still in great form for tourists. A good place to roam around overlooking the whole city.

I also enjoyed strolling the place, sipping a cup of the country's famous wine called "Glüwein", perfect for cold winter season. This is made of mulled wine with spices and zest of orange or lemon 1 hour heat, but do not boil, otherwise the alcohol evaporates. (Zest: Very thin or grated peeled strips of citrus fruits) allow to draw the mulled wine for at least another half hour. The mulled wine syrup to personal taste.

Then strain through a sieve, and heat before serving. Try this if you come to Austria.
