Caling on Bruckner

Wednesday 20th April 2016

Up at 07:15 & away at 08:35 on a lovely day which stayed that way. Getting out of Regensburg was easy & so was the drive, except for a jammed contraflow & another which was fast, 11.7km & very narrow, nasty for the concentration. Getting the vignette at the Austrian border was something they were very geared up for. I had estimated that the first services would have them & it had a Vignette Shop for all the Ostblock countries as well as Austria. We turned off for Bruckner’s birthplace at Ansfelden but could only find the closed Brucknerzentrum.

However, four miles on at St. Florian, we could get into the cathedral without hindrance (or cost) & free pees, much needed by then.

We stopped at a posh, if a bit vulgar services for not-very-good sandwiches, then ploughed on, turning off on the A21, which avoids Vienna & goes through some decent sized hills. Unfortunately, a lot of these Austrian motorways have pointless barriers obscuring the view. These drive Avis nuts, especially as the solid concrete crash barriers also limit her view.
