'Martin Zšberl and his floating mill.'

Once the Danube boasted many ship mills: water mills, floating on the river that turned the wheel. During the last decennies only Romania had some left, in an open air museum. Until Martin Zšberl in Orth an der Donau decided to built an authentic ship mill with his own hands, using technical drawings from around 1800. After three years it was finished and functioned properly. Because it floats you can reach it only over water: with the Tschaike, a reconstruction itself of a boat dating 1530. Photo Paul Smit.

"Baking Celtic bread.'

Excavation of the Century they called the events following a farmer ploughing up a little bronze ring in 1980, near Mitterkirchen. Eighty Celtic graves saw the light and inspired village officials and archeologists to reconstruct a Celtic settlement, including a burial mound. Visitors are not only invited to have a look in this prehistorical open air museum, they can do things themselves. Like helping to bake bread in a Celtic bread house.  Photo Paul Smit.

'Winegrowers family Kitzler, a Welcome Ticket B & B.'

Federal state Niederösterreich has developed a great way to travel freely: the Welcome Ticket. With this voucher system, you enjoy freedom and independence in planning your travels. You choose when you want to travel and for how long. You can take any route and stay overnight wherever you please – two nights in one place, three in another. Or you can spend your entire holiday with just one host.  A voucher costs 20 euros (children 11) and opens the door to 270 B&B's, farms, pensions and hotels, like this B&B of the Kitzlers in Rohrendorf. Halfboard or three star accomodations cost 2 vouchers. Moreover, the voucher accomodations stay open all year round. Photo Paul Smit.

’Embroidered universe-3.’

	The embroidery on the clothes of the Red Dao mountain tribe is a geometrical translation of the natural world that the tribe inhabits: trees, flowers, animals, people and stars. Photo Mick Palarczyk
Smit & Palarczyk > [VIETNAM.NORTH 21.388] ’Black Dao women under umbrella.’	 Black Dao women wear plain black trousers and jackets finished with a superb red ruff. The hair on their forehead is plucked (including the eyebrows) so that it cannot distract from the beauty of their clothing. Photo Mick Palarczyk.
