Eurotrip 6, 2017 – Ossiach by boat…

Standard

Route to Villach…

 

Yesterday was a quiet day, shopping trips and a cycle in the evening to Villach – all on dedicated cycle paths – around 11 miles round trip.

 

 

 

 

 

Today we left the campsite around 10:45 and headed to Annenheim to catch the water taxi (although some around here think it’s more of a cruise than a taxi service!).

Ossiach from the water…

We bought a “round trip” ticket for about 25 Euros and travelled to Ossiach, where we had previously cycled several days ago.

 

Ossiach Collegiate church…

 

We looked around Ossiach Collegiate Church and walked around the outside of the former monastery which was situated here.

 

 

 

 

Not quite authentic…

 

The church décor was magnificent but whilst on the surface, many of the features appeared to be constructed of marble, they were in fact all painted wood. Painted very nicely though.

 

 

Outside Ossiach Collegiate Church…

Naturgasthof Schlosswirt…

Lunch was at the restaurant Naturgasthof Schlosswirt. Food was great and very nice service from the friendly waitress who did her best to translate the menu.

Mo had two “giant” meat-filled noodles whilst I opted for the Schnitzel wrapped in rosti potato and cheese. The accompanying salads were very nicely put together and extremely tasty.

It’s been a really hot day today and on our return to the campsite plenty of time for a spot of sun bathing.
