Favorite thing: Whenever you're travelling with kids, you must be pleasantly amazed by the fact that Hinterstoder is a little village that is very, very friendly for little kids.
First of all (but we guess you'll find it anywhere) all the local people spoke to me about little Iris and Sam. Iris was about 8 years and Sam over 4 years at that time. Everybody thought they were adorable and I was a great parent to take such a sweet and couple of kids on vacation, instead of leaving them home! Everybody gave them attention, a little present or candy.
Although I have been to Hinterstoder many times as a kid I could never imagine what it would be like as a parent. But what truly amazed me was that this little town had a very well organized and maintained playground for little kids. Because they were all a part of private owners some of them even had guards the ground. It was great!

Favorite thing: Let’s make no secret of it. I do like a nice cold glass of beer. Being abroad is always a challenge to find a beer I like, which reflects my particular taste of having a beer. In Austria it was sometimes rather difficult. I found out that there are quite some local beers, only known in that particular area. But anyway, we did like the Gösser Märzen.
Göss’s brewing history goes back 1,000 years: Beer has been brewed in the Styrian convent Göss since 1020. Back then beer brewing was reserved for women – this may perhaps be one reason why it has such appeal to the stronger sex ...? Today the Göss brewery is one of the most modern in Austria. I liked this Gösser Märzen, because its is a light coloured Lager beer and has a mild aroma of malt and a refreshingly dry flavour derived from the balanced addition of the hops.

Favorite thing: If you do not know Austrian German, it is best to know your shoe size in the metric scale. Then look up how to say that in German. Not many people speak English here and I was happy to have my Austrian friends with me to translate what a size 12 foot was.
Fondest memory: I miss the view from Hinterstoder. It is incredibly beautiful.
