More regular times so probably best to get your timing for birds of prey first then move on to the monkeys.
They are macaques from Japan and about 134 of them at present.
Costs 16 euros or free with Karten card.
For parking see birds of prey journal entry.
You are walked through with a...
Just to the east of Villach right next to the Oriacher See is ruined castle where they have a bird of prey sanctuary with shows.
This time of year they are at 1100 1300 and 1500.
You can see from photos there is plenty of space.
Tactics. Get there an hour before your show because parking for...
Firstly, no I don't know how to pronounce it.
Only one other journal has more photos than this one.
It is an absolute corker of a gorge walk.
It is 10 euros each without the Karten card or free with it.
You need to pay for parking (even a motorbike as I rang to check) and realistically it is...
A free to walk up to waterfall which just happened to be in our way this morning when moving campsites for geographical reasons of getting closer to a whole new set of Karten card freebies.
There are 2 car parks and no issues coming off the main drag for the kilometre or so of narrower lanes but...
Having got completely and utterly lost on the motorbike going up untarmacced stoney "roads" to nowhere in search of poms wasserfall for which we never even saw a sign we spotted a skywalk out of a ruined castle then an immense amount of steps.
Dumped the bike and there was a TO open who...
A lovely imposing modern building that somehow we didn't manage to get an overall photo of but it is photogenic from far away.
Poor final road signs were a tad annoying for no other reason than we were expecting some and got none.
You park at big car park and walk up turning left past the...
A free cave to go and see with a shrine to Rosalene within the cave.
What interested me was the hole in the cave roof.
We parked on the roadside car park and noted all the archers with expensive attack bows as we knew there was like an archery battleground over the road with lifesize animals...
A cable car up and down which was free with the Karten card savings 23 euros.
Nice bike ride up to the base and we made an early start with less clouds about. Reckon it was about 10 minutes long in a telecabin and it goes straight but does go up at different angles to about 1800 m.
Toilets at...
Spotted this on the way through.
Something about Cathedrals and Basilicae ? We like
Nothing extraordinary about age or exterior photogenic but thought it was worthy of a pop in.
We were there in the 12-2 lunch period and it was open and not a soul about.
It is quite small compared to some...
Located in Wolfsberg this is a proper museum which under any circumstances wouldn't interest us at all.
But it was a nice ride out on a nice day and our intention was to couple it up with the poms waterfall but when we checked from wolfsberg it was another 39 minutes so we passed on the...
A Karten card freebie that would cost 29 euros so after day 2 of the card we only have 6 euros to use to break even and then 33 days of free use.
You need to book this one up over the phone and I employed our man at the campsite to help us out with that then found out you can book over the...
We were killing time at Bad Eissenkappel waiting for our next free Karten card offer and had choices of popping up to Slovenia or off to a waterfall or this gorge "walk".
We failed to find the walk but it was pretty much as you would expect any gorge in France as we went up on the motorbike...
On the same day as a couple of Burgs nearby we got into St Veit for their 7 museums in one museum.
It's in the town which was modern clean and pretty but no idea from what we saw of where to park a motorhome but we were on the motorbike.
The first couple of rooms were uninteresting to us as...
Just up the road from the big castle was another burg, but what I treated us was it was next to a weingut
What also enticed us was a slide going down the mountain/hill. But we knew that was extra money and the second photo should have the prices which include a lift.
The trick here is to...
The first of our Karten card uses.
We paid 82 euros for 5 weeks of selected museums, cruises, ski lifts, panoramic roads, swimming pools etc.
This would have cost us 19 euros
The castle is first mentioned in about 860 but the present owners have had it since 1571. There are 14 gates to...
We needed to cross north to south and I really didn't want to spend any money meaning no go box and no main roads.
We left from a free site at Augsburg 2 hours motorway travel to Salzburg.
As we entered Austria on a motorway the concerns were growing.
Then we saw absolutely massive vignette...
We left our overnight stop at Bergues filling up at the Texaco garage en route to the motorway and finding they have a new exit system if turning left towards the motorway. It goes a fair way out of the way and turning right then doing an about turn on the roundabout would be quicker. We have...
More Journals from suavecarve
In the morning we are off in our new to us van a Dethleffs Trend A Class 7057 I EB which we picked up a couple of weeks ago and in between working 12 hour shifts managed to get 280 ah of lithium with a 3000 watt inverter, fridge fans, an alarm and tracker and pimp it out. Solar didnt arrive in...
Cadenet was in our way on the bike route.
We saw it as we headed to Cucuron yesterday but didn't strike us as a must see, but we stopped anyway.
We may have made a mistake in following signs to the town centre which is at the bottom of the hill. Because the main attraction is at the top of...
Following on from the Carinthia Throughnal the rest of our holiday is no where near Carinthia so I created another throughnal.
Starting from Salzburg where we are staying and visited we expect to follow the alpinestraße loosely to Constance and hopefully Rhine Falls then maybe crossing Alsace...
Having done a few journals and one "live" one and listened to the feedback that it is more preferential for most to enjoy a thread with interaction rather than page clicking, I am going to try the Thrournal, a thread and journal and better sounding than a Jouread which might make me sound a bit...
It is that time of year when we go on holiday and I do a journal. I call it a thrournal as I start with a journal and copy it into a thread. Hopefully others will do journals in the upcoming period as well. And the journal map is very helpful for holiday planning.
This holiday will be 28 days...

Intending to travel from around l'Orient down to as far as Ile de Re leaving on the overnight ferry from Newhaven on the night of 27th August.
In my signature you will find a couple of journals from this year, Bavaria and Languedoc, and some previous places I have added retrospectively under...
A collection of noteworthy previous stopovers and/or places we have visited worthy of consideration within France.
