Schloss Fernsteinsee
We stopped by at Schloss Fernsteinsee on the way to Innsbruck. This is the most panoramic scenery I have ever seen. The water was so clear like crystal, the reflection of the mountain on the lake was so green. The bells on the cows' neck created an interesting and special sound where you could hardly hear them elsewhere. There was fog around. I felt as if I was in heaven.
However, I just realized that there are even more places with much better scenery in Austria. Just like this. Your first impression would be "wow....". Location and name is unknown.
Innsbruck
A small township with its old town lined with charming shops and cafes. It is the capital city of the federal state of Tyrol in western Austria. The word bruck comes from the German word Brucke meaning "Bridge" which leads to "the bridge over the inn".
We went to see the Old town with the balcony of Maximellium of 15th century. It resembles a stage set and the purpose of the balcony was meant for the Duke to speak down to his subject or being adored and admired by them. One of the most outstanding elements of the balcony is non other than its roof - The Golden Roof of Innsbruck, is now the symbol of the township.
Austria is also the home of the world famous Swarovski crystal. We had a chance to marvel at the endless creation of its product from the local show room.
pic: buy the cheapest crystal I could afford, only 11 euro. But the crystal dropped off before I managed to wear them on my finger after back to Malaysia
