When leaving Aggsbach Markt, Mrs. Theresia Frischauf looked out of her window
and started to chat with me. Soon another woman stopped on her way to the grocery
store. They were full of stories from the past.

The path led me up to the forests and meadows and away from the Danube.
Spring flowers surrounded me. Since the beginning of my hike, the cuckoo bird was
my constant companion.

Cock and two chicken and blooming sloes (Schlehen) behind the wood stack
Blooming apple tree
Violets
Before I entered the village of Emmersdorf, the view opened to the Danube,
the Benedictine monastery of Melk and the castle of Emmersdorf.
