Favorite thing: As already mentioned there is Internet Access available in Bad Ischl. The last time I was there it was located in the local Post Office. You have to pay some kind of Card with a certain amount and then you can feel free to go there whenever they have opened.
Although it's not the most comfortable place, because you sit on Barstools. Also no Coffee or any other drinks available. ;(
I can keep you informed, if there are any other places with internet access available.

Favorite thing: The first person to use the salt baths in the area for medicinal purposes was Dr. Josef Götz. When he told Dr. Franz von Wirer about his work, the good doctor made the town famous by turning some of his famous patients onto this new miracle in medicine. You see, von Wirer was a professor at the Vienna Medical School and was the personal doctor for Emperor Franz I.

Favorite thing: Yep, the Traun River runs along the southern edge of town and is highlighted by a beautiful street called the Esplanade on its northern edge. This street is lined with beautiful villas and other important buildings.

Favorite thing: Since the main tourist information place was closed (after 12pm on Sundays) I ended up at this alternative place that specializes in package-type tours throughout the Salzkammergut region. I spoke with the person working here briefly and then decided to use the computer. The internet access was more expensive here than in most places, so I kept it brief.

Favorite thing: The main tourist information place is just a short walk to the west from the train station on Bahnhofstrasse 6. It's open Monday through Friday from 8am to 6pm, Saturday from 9am to 4pm and on Sunday only from 10am to noon. I happened to be here on a Sunday afternoon, so it wasn't open, but I stopped here briefly to escape a short rain shower and was able to enter the first set of doors and grab some free pamphlets before realizing that the interior was locked.

Favorite thing: This post-office is certainly a bit "Oversized" for a town of 13000 inhabitants...
.
Fondest memory: ...but of course during summertime, when the royal family was there, they had a lot of extra-business for the royal court
.
and today it is the most beautiful post-office in Austria - and as far as I know, it should be sold soon...

Fondest memory: a large garden was built around the castle and from the top of the gatrden you have a great view to the mountain-panorama

Favorite thing: The mother of the last Austrian emperor Kaiser Franz Joseph did not get any children and so her doctor sent her to have some baths here in Bad Ischl in the healthy salt-water
.
Fondest memory: ...and it worked very well and this "success" made Bad Ischl and its salt-spa famous

The climax of the Ischl heyday was the time from 1849 to 1914 as an imperial summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph I.
