Amy & Kelsey's Austrian Adventure: Pictures from Deutschkreutz and Sopron

Hey everyone! So I promised pictures from our first look at Deutschkreutz, the village we are staying in this week, as well as our time in Sopron, Hungary, so here they are! It is so beautiful out here, we can't get enough of the scenery and architecture.

Views from around the outskirts of Deutschkreutz. These area is about a 5-10 minute walk from the home we are staying in. We love how easy it is to walk everywhere here! As you can see, there are lots of vineyards. The Burgenland is known as the "Land of Sun" in Austria, so it is a great area for wine making. Specifically they are known for a red wine called Blaufränkisch. The village is surrounded by small wineries, which take turns being open during the warmer months. The way they show that they are open is pretty neat, they hang a green tree branch or bush outside their door. Kelsey and I plan on taking a long walk around the village soon to take more pictures.

Here are a few pictures of the animals that a famous local artist Anton Lehmden keeps near his property, the castle Schloss Deutschkreutz. He had llamas, pygmy goats, emu, deer, and even an ostrich.
