Austria 2008 - A Driving Tour through Styria: Bruck / Mur

So I had gone on another trip back to my birth country of Austria. After relaxing for one day after my arrival, on May 2, 2008 I started the day with a trip to an organic farm with my brother, an avid gardner who, as an expert chef, turns his home-grown treasures into delicious and nutritious meals. In the afternoon I went on a driving tour through my native region of Styria, a province on the eastern side of Austria. I drove to the village of Puch, famous for its apple and peach orchards. From there I went on to the mountain of Kulm, an ancient volcano and location of a pre-historic Celtic village. On the mountain I watched and interviewed the paragliders who went soaring over the rolling hills of East Styria. On from there I continued into the mountain villages of Anger and Birkfeld past a mountain pass in the Mürz Valley. There I stopped at the historic town of Bruck an der Mur, a significant commercial centre in the area with an expansive main square, framed by historic buildings. My last stop on this tour was the quaint market town of Frohnleiten, perched on the banks of the River Mur, which has some of the most picturesque main squares in all of Styria.
