Semmering, Payerbach-Reichenau, Schlöglmühl, Pottschach, Ternitz, Neunkirchen NÖ, St.Egyden

Time for a new trip, this time south eastward

A pleasant surprise from Austrian Airlines, a complimentary drink in Economy class
Arriving from Sweden, and what do I see...
From the airport hotel window
The following day, I'm taking a train to Vienna.

At Vienna Hbf, I'm taking this EC 151 Emona to Semmering. The train is bound for Ljubljana
