Burgenland – the exotic land of Austria

A few days ago I was invited by the people from Austria Incoming to spend a longer weekend (including Friday) in Austria, to be more specific in the Burgenland land, somewhere close to Vienna, on the Hungarian border. Of course, I gladly agreed, so, after only a few days after my homecoming from China, there I am again at Otopeni, embarking on a Niki flight to Vienna and further on towards Burgenland. read more…
