Things to Do  

TOWN WALK & MONUMENTS

TOWN WALK & MONUMENTS, Bad Aussee

 balhannah Says:  ON the listed website, is a town walk you can do. It gives a detailed description of all you will see.I would imagine, the Tourist Info centre would have the map too!There is a lot more to see than what I had time for. I did see more monuments, one of them was the Plague... 

KURPARK

KURPARK, Bad Aussee

 balhannah Says:  The Kurpark is where the Kurhaus is located. This park is on historic ground, as in the 14th century, the Brewhouse, salt pans and salt mine were located here. It was not until 1860, when the salt works were relocated, that the gardens were created. I thought this a lovely... 

ARCHITECTURE & FRESCOES

ARCHITECTURE & FRESCOES, Bad Aussee

 balhannah Says:  Are you interested in either of these, I am, and here in the old town, I found plenty of frescoes, and different wooden architecture in the form of Balconies. It is known as "typical Aussee wooden architecture," so I assume, it is not found everywhere in Austria. 

MERCEDES BRIDGE

MERCEDES BRIDGE, Bad Aussee

 balhannah Says:  The Mercedes Bridge is described as "The most disgusting representation of corporate power since the invention of copyright.!"I must admit, I found it rather peculiar to see a bridge made into the Mercedes Benz emblem!Built in 2005 at the confluence of Grundlseer and... 

TRAUN RIVER

TRAUN RIVER, Bad Aussee

 balhannah Says:  The Traun river runs through Bad Aussee and is a delightful area to walk alongside.It seems to be a popular area, and I can see why. I saw nice homes on either side of the river, a weir, and many flowers were in baskets hanging on the fence by the River. The water was... 

ISLAND OF TRADITIONAL DRESS

ISLAND OF TRADITIONAL DRESS, Bad Aussee

 balhannah Says:  The Ausseerland is known as “Island of Traditional Costumes of Austria”. Bad Aussee is unique within Austria as its inhabitants wear Tracht, or traditional dress, on a daily basis. For women, this consists of a Dirndl, a type of dress with a fitted bodice and full skirt.... 

NARZISSENFEST

NARZISSENFEST, Bad Aussee

 balhannah Says:  What a shame we missed the Narzissenfest!I would have loved to been here to see the massive floral sculptures made from daffodil blossoms in their full glory!The Daffodils grow wild, and turn the mountain landscape into a sea of flowers.The Festival is Austria’s biggest... 

KAMMERHOF MUSEUM

KAMMERHOF MUSEUM, Bad Aussee

 balhannah Says:  When I first saw this building, I thought it was old, and sure enough, it was built in 1395. Even though it has been rebuilt several times, most of the original building still stands today.Up until 1926, the Kammerhof was the salt office building. Now, its a Museum, with the... 

ARCHDUKE JOHANN - A LOVE STORY

ARCHDUKE JOHANN - A LOVE STORY, Bad Aussee

 balhannah Says:  Walking Bad Aussee, I came across this monument to Archduke Johann. I wondered who this important person was, and since have found out about the love story involving him and Anna Plochl, the postmaster’s daughter of Bad Aussee.A FAIRYTALE! The Archduke fell in love with a...

This Restaurant happened to have its Menu out front, it looked appealing, so inside we went.
We could have sat inside, but as it was fine weather, the Beer garden out the back beckoned us!
We ordered our meals and were happy with the appearance and taste of both of them.
We would return if in the area again.

We didn't know a Heurigen restaurant is one where only its own Wine is served, and a limited selection of cold food as an evening meal, generally local, homemade products is served.
Many places still provide a selection of small dishes like Liptauer spread, various meat or sausage and bread roll or cheese selections. A Heurigen is only open for a limited time, although local people generally know about the scheduled openings of establishments, through word of mouth or a calendar of the area.

To know a Heurigen is Open, the tradition is a couple of conifer or fir twigs bound in a circle, or Buschen, hung above the entrance door.

Favorite thing: In all my years of travelling the worst place I have encountered for smokingin restaurants is Bad Aussee.

I can't single out one specifically as they were all appalling with no segregation. So much for EU regulations and directives...
