After leaving Slovenia, going through Italy for a short distance then entering Austria, it reminded us how beautiful Austria is also. It’s features are the mountains (snow fields) and the major cities. We drove through Villach, Feldkinchen, St Veit an der Glan and then onto Friesch where we stopped for a few hours.
Friesach is known for its old, moated town. We drove into the town at 12MD and it was extremely quiet. We parked in the town’s main [cobbled] square and found the Information Centre. They gave us a map so off we went. We saw the Palace which was now being used as a theatre, the castle, which is now a restaurant and museum at the top of the hill, and many different ruins. The moat was only on 3 sides. It was a lovely little town.
We had lunch and then drove through Judenberg. For the next 40kms it was incredibly mountainous (with occasional 1st gear work) but incredibly beautiful. From there we drove another 40kms to Graz.
