Roman City of Carnuntum From the 1st to the 4th century AD, Carnuntum was a significant Roman metropolis on the border of the Roman Empire. Carnuntum became the capital of the province of Pannonia Superior with about 50,000 inhabitants, making it one of the biggest cities in the northern Empire. Because of its militarily vital location for securing the border and its proximity to key trade routes Carnuntum blossomed. Our goal is to vividly present the history and basic scientific research associated with the Roman City of Carnuntum. Antiquity comes alive again in the Roman city quarter with its reconstructed ancient buildings as well as in the amphitheaters and Museum Carnuntinum, the city’s treasure chamber.

My wife and I have visited hundreds of Roman ruins all over Europe. Yes we have walked the grounds of many historical sites, but we had never expierianced the the first hand walk through a Roman village. It is well worth the drive to visit here. Nice restaurant onsite also.

A small village in the Waldviertel has devoted itself totally to the poppy: the inhabitants of Armschlag have even patented the unique Waldviertel grey poppy seed.

This shrine´s location is a bit away from the major cities in Austria but if you are driving by car is worth a detour. Outside you’ll enjoy the panoramic view over the Danube River. Inside you’ll find a harmonious baroque style which makes you feel in a transcendental plan; in fact that was the effect the Catholic Church wanted to achieve with the faithful entering in the temples. Enjoy!

12-th century Castle looks like it was never touched since that century . I think it's a must visit place if you are around this area and for all castle lovers. Take a look at one of my photos added to this post.
