Will be doing Austria with my two teenage daughters in April. Thought about Vienna,Gratz,Klaggenfurt, Salsburg area, and western Austria. With possibly a side trip to Czech Republic? Have two weeks with a car rental out of Munich. <BR>Any suggestions? Would like to stay in smaller towns as much as possible. <BR> <BR>

Hi, <BR> <BR>Don't miss Salzburg, also Halstadt and the Lake District i.e., Veldon. <BR> <BR>Prague's wonderful. If you start in Vienna, then to Salzburg, then to Halstadt, then to Lakes on the way to Prague. <BR> <BR>Good luck

Thanks, any favorite places to eat or stay?

There are a number of interesting looking places in or near Landshut (ENE of Munich) cited at www.landshut.de - - I am staying at Gasthof zur Linde (in Hohenpolding) next month. <BR> <BR>And at the risk of sounding like a nag - - could an effort be made to use GEOGRAPHICALLY descriptive message headers here, please? <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex

Hi Dan, <BR> <BR>Definitely go to Prague. It's an enchanting place, and so close to Vienna. My daughter spent 4 months living in Vienna. I will try to get some info for you. <BR> <BR>Denise <BR> <BR>Denise
