18th: Saturday

When we were last in Vienna, I saw Nußdorf from a boat. This was my chance to see it for real. Elly navigated us from Praterstraße to Julius-Raab-Platz. We then took tram 1 to Börse and then tram D all the way north to Nußdorf.

18th: Saturday (continued)

When we got off the tram at Nußdorf, we saw an advert for a wee train going up to the top of the Kahlenberg. We couldn't resist…
