Austrian Slow Food for Bons Vivants
Open Air Genussfestival at Vienna's Stadtpark


Kaiserschmarrn, anyone?


Johann Strauß Memorial
Everyone was out to play


and taste


and take it all in
from the terrace of the Kursalon Café


and see how to
wear Lederhosen in style


find a shady spot to share
a glass of Uhudler wine with friends


enjoy a leisurely afternoon
of reading on a blanket in the sun


or take a well-earned breather
by the pond

    How fun it is to see the citizens of Vienna having fun in such a relaxed manner---something I haven't seen too
    often. Thanks for sharing, Merisi. Enjoy your weekend.

  13. I never knew lederhosen came in long styles... I thought they were all cut above the knee. I like the long ones! They look like cowboys. 8-)
