The last full day in the Wachau. The weather was initially very subdued. But you shouldn't forget that it's the beginning of April, so anything is possible. But it was more like May along the route. So it was great fun to observe nature. Everything was moving. Butterflies 🦋, bees 🐝 lizards 🦎And lots of trees, bushes and flowers in …

A beautiful tour from Paudorf over the giant sequoias to the Waxenberg.

The giant sequoias were planted by the forester of Göttweig Abbey in 1880. Today they have grown so large that they tower over the surrounding forest, and they still have a lot to do if they are allowed to. The bark looks a bit battered, but maybe that …
