ÖSWAG shipyard in Linz
On a harbour tour with a boat of the company ‘Wurm+Köck’ in Linz, we also entered this shipyard founded in 1840 and still producing and overhauling ships. My first impression: ‘Gosh, how neat and green such a slipway can be’.
New Cathedral of Linz
Speaking in terms of space the New Cathedral of Linz (Neuer Dom) is the largest church of Austria. It is even larger than St Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. This photo was taken from the top of a wooden tower named Keine Sorgen Turm, which has been erected for the event Höhenrausch.
Kellertheater in Linz
One of my favourite diversions: Taking photos of decorations which don’t fit to the geography of the region. So I took this pic of an elephant seen at a building at the main square of Linz.

Mozarthaus in Linz
During a stopover in Linz, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote the Symphony No. 36 (Linz Symphony) in this building located in the historic centre of the city. The Mozarthaus isn’t open for public but the inner court is worth a visit though.
No Sorrows Tower in Linz
While having lunch at the restaurant Schlossbrasserie on top of the castle hill, I caught sight of this remarkable tower. The 30-metre high tower made of wood is named No Sorrow Tower (Keine-Sorgen-Turm) and is part of the event Höhenrausch. Later, I had a good view of the New Cathedral from there.
View from the Stahlwelt in Linz

Inside the Stahlwelt of Linz
It took this photo inside the exhibition hall of the Stahlwelt in Linz. This is a hall with an excellent exhibition about steel and products made of steel. Well, I am part of this photo. Can you see me?
