Going Golling


GOLLING AN DER SALZACH FALLS

Sunday morning couldn’t have started better.  Companion and I went to the Gölling waterfalls at the edge of the town. It is the source of the Salzach. The atmosphere was fairly calm and not super-touristy. We aimed to hike up the water feature at our pace. The final peak was indeed spectacular. Water gushed out the ledge and we could feel the splashes. The horse-tail punch bowl waterfall really blew us out of our minds! We took some time at the local cafe to try out some Topfenstrudel & Apfelstrudel. I gotta say, my Topfenstrudel was unexpectedly delicious.
The Golling's majestic water display.

Scenery that is sold on pictures, I saw it up-close.

Another postcard-worthy snap. 



In the midst of exquisite beauty.
Amazing rock formation underneath the Golling.

Hiking Kapuzinerberg!

Salzburg, the place I call home for three months now, is one stunning beauty of its own. It possesses the underrated charms of quaint mountainous beauty, paired with the often silent birth town of Mozart. Of course, it was once a German territory and Amadeus himself was a German because of this territorial chronology.  Chilling out at Cafe Baltazar On the 'treppe' (stairs) upwards to the hilltop Wow, people actually live here!

I apologize for the foggy photo However, Salzburg is completely different from the likes of Vienna, Prague or other nearby cities. It has its perfectly balanced nature and modern lifestyles. One perfect hangout is alongside the Salzach riverbanks. The river flows from my residence in General Keyes road up to the city and I orientate my route to the city on foot with its direction. My companion and I hiked up the foothills and snap...

Language Immersion Theory

As I put myself up as a Total Immersion Theory subject, there are several factors which I have not highlighted in the study and severe cultural hindrances that may have been overlooked. The first factor would be the extremely low temperatures during winter which may not be conducive for 'immersion' in a regular day-to-day situation. With the help of amazing friends here, I have always been a part of the social-circle with ease. I find myself in the presence of young,educated Austrians in their mid-20s in the midst of spending a fantastic evening out in town. It came as a shock for me to find almost all businesses (except restaurants)cease operations after six and nothing is open during Sundays. Only one mall exists in the entire city :EUROPARK.
