# Holiday in the Vienna Alps

Holiday **by train**! We boarded in Brno and less than 3 hours later we'd arrived. **Semmering** — a picturesque spa town best known to railway enthusiasts. The town sits on the hill above the station. From the centre you can see more hills, left and right. Everywhere you go is uphill or downhill. The surroundings are really **lovely** — the paths along the railway offer **stunning** views, as do the ridge trails with their panoramas of **forested** hillsides.

Austria, unlike the Czech Republic, doesn't have such **detailed** trail marking — I occasionally hesitated about which way to go. But we **never** got lost. We always ended up where we wanted to be.

One day we set aside for **RaxAlp**, a nearby limestone plateau. After all those hillside trails from the previous days, RaxAlp was in a different league. Well worth a visit too.

As a holiday destination it's ideal — not far from Brno. The journey is comfortable — highly recommended.

*Train journey*

In a word: long (but fast) — from Vienna it takes just over four hours. You pass through a bit of Bavaria as well. The views from the train are stunning. I have to say that for the time spent on the train, the journey was very comfortable.
