Thӧrringplatz 7

The cobwebs have been cleaned, the spiders are dead, and our apartment is finally shaping up! Life is good here at Thӧrringplatz 7! At a quaint 37 meters squared, we’re snug but comfortable. Our second floor apartment overlooks the main square of Pӧchlarn, which includes two cafes, a couple shops and a hair salon. Just around the corner are the church, bank and bakery. Were in good company!



















To the north of our apartment flows the Danube in all its glory. With bike trails on both sides of the river, we can take an easy stroll or go for a long run or bike trip any time wed like. The trails are well-maintained and stretch more than 200 miles across Austria. Were just a few kilometers outside of the Wachau region, which, according to Lonely Planet, is
considered Austrias most spectacular section of the Danube. In 2000, it became a Unesco World Heritage site due to its harmonious blend of natural and cultural beauty.

  2. Angela and Michael,

    Wachau region is also one of the prime wine regions of Austria. An inadvertent oversight, I presume... Seriously, apartment and surroundings are as if scripted from a short story or travelogue. tom
