@geobeats Well I am from Austria, nice work you did. I would say everybody who visits Vienna and likes Nature should visit the "Donau Auen" It is a very beautiful area, environment is protected, animals and plants and in spring you have a nice light fog in the morning and you hear nothing except of animals and Silence :) It is wonderful.

@eliaviel1 It is called "Trachten". The girls have Dirndl and men have what you described. It is more common among the older generation but on the rural parts also younger people wear it ;)

Is it common fashion for men in Austria to wear a hat with a feather on top ? Is it also a common fashion that men wear pants up to the knees and heavy socks ?

good work and true hints on Vienna.

But one correction: Vienna is NOT famous for its apple pie, but for the apple strudel (Apfelstrudel). The picture is correct, nevertheless. ;-)
