New Cathedral, Linz

The construction of the neo-Gothic cathedral was already initiated in 1855 by F.J. Rudiger, then Bishop of Linz, and the foundation stone was laid in 1862. The building was designed by the Cologne cathedral builder Vinzenz Statz. The cathedral was consecrated in 1924. The height of the tower was limited to 134m (as it was not permitted to surpass St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna). The cathedral can accommodate 20,000 worshippers and is also notable for its stained glass windows, including the famous Linz Window with scenes from the history of Linz (left front). At Christmas the crypt church contains one of the largest nativity scenes, measuring 12 m in length.

Hallstatt in Austria is something out of a dream.

... the hiking is wonderful. I went off on my own into alpine forests.

...and there is plenty of nature to see.

.. and finally the people were awesome...

I lost my wallet here. When retracing my steps, the nice lady in the supermarket told me a wallet had been handed in to City Hall by a young child. The lady took me there and all 100+ euros, credit cards and driving license were still in there.

Hallstatt gets overwhelmed (ruined?) by day trippers. Don't do that. Stay the night and explore the neighbouring mountains and give this beautiful place the time it deserves.

Hallstatt

Hallstatt is a small town overlooking the Hallstätter See (Lake Hallstatt) in the Salzkammergut, in the federal states Upper Austria of Austria.

The problems and opportunities of greatly-increased tourism in Hallstatt were covered by The Washington Post in August 2019.
