Useful Info. and Traditions for anyone new to visiting Austria
#1
Number 2.   Cleaning the Lake. 


 Every day they come around and sweep all the pollen etc. off the Lake never seen this anywhere else.  Another cleaning job they do is to take a huge cylindrical pressure washer through the Tunnels so they are always pristine clean.  We have seen this when approaching the Tauern Tunnel on the A10 from Salzburg to Villach and have had to wait for them to finish.

Number 1.  Coffee in Austria.


In Austria when you order a coffee it will come on a tray, similar to the one below, or made of steel or wood always accompanied by a glass of still water and a biscuit or chocolate.
There are many variations of Coffee the one below is a Vienna Melange, a mix of frothed milk and steamed coffee similar to an Italian Cappuccino, but consumed at any time of day, rather than the tradition in Italy where it is just drunk in the mornings.
