In summer 2017, I made my first travel to Europe.  I started from Prague, through small towns, to Vienna, Budapest, and Krakow.  Love the food in Poland the most.  Read the history, at least a little of the medieval age, it's a must.

Salzkammergut
A mountainous region in Austria that brings fortune and wealth to the nation by the discovery of salt mines - the "White Gold".  By steam train, I climbed up the tip of Mount Schafberg (1,783m), just to be surrounded by 12 great lakes with a marvelous mix of green and blue.  Town visited: Bad Ischl, St. Wolfgang, and Hallstatt.
