Graz

After Andy and I dropped off the sparrow at “Wildtiere in Not” we took 2 hours in Graz
We assume this is the Hilmteich, at least the part of Graz it is in is called Hilmteich, “Teich” meaning a small lake

Later we walked a bit in the Leechwald, and learned 25% of Graz are covered by forest. Much of it was closed though, after recent storms uprooted trees and made it unsafe.

We went to the nearby pigrimage church Mariatrost

It was beautiful inside, but someone was tuning the high notes of a harpsichord and it was unbearable

So we walked around for a while, hoping it would stop

Andy liked the Kirchenwirt (church tavern) but we did not go in


We tried once more, this time he was practicing, mainly the dissonant parts of the Messiah (which we knew because we had read there was going to be concert there the next day of Haendel’s Messiah), so we left soon.
