Lindwurm InnGhelenstrasse 44
13th District
Built in the 19th Centuryas a summer residence for a
Viennese Lederhosen manufacturer,
this Swiss chalet-style abode
was converted into a restaurant
in 1905, and has been offering
a warm meal and coffee with a view
at the edge of the Lainz Game Reserve
for more than a 100 years
In the moodfor a sled ride?
Just walk out the garden gate
and downhill you go!
A cup of coffeebefore hitting the slopes?
Maxie can't contain his excitement:
"Where are my skis?"

The building of the Lindwurm Inn is so inviting and attractive. Aaah, sledding -the favorite thing of my (then younger) kids to do when we would drive up to the snow:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images! I like the little planter with the snow adorning the brown stems.
ReplyDeleteDo you drink tea much?
ReplyDeleteJeanette,
ReplyDeletethe fact that this place is within city limits and can be reached by public transportation, yet seems worlds away, is the best part for me.
Vicki Lane,
yes, really pretty!
Fat, Frumpy, Fifty,
I would call myself an addicted tea drinker.
I drink tea all the time, coffee only once a day
(btw I poured the coffee in the picture behind a bush, it was so awful - the morning was too young, apparently).
What gorgeous pictures Merisi!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that coffee had a shot of warming schnapps in it?
Wandring Star,
ReplyDeletewe shall never know! ;-)
Gorgeous! I want to be there.
ReplyDeleteUtterly lovely! Thanks again so much for sharing your thoughts and images, which so totally transport me.
ReplyDeleteWhat interesting cup!
ReplyDeleteHello Merisi,
ReplyDeleteIt's really warmed up here in NYC, no gloves required when I walked through the Park today.
Your snow scene is great ... I agree that it is always charming to find a site like this that can be reached without too much bother by a city dweller.
Sorry the coffee disappointed. The cup and saucer are elegant.
Best wishes. xo
What an inviting Inn....even in the snow! It's in the city limits? Wow!!! Little Maxie is just ADORABLE.....of course, having grown up with doxies, I'm a little partial. :D Hugs to you and Maxie......

Merisi this place must have a wonderful sense of tradition. Are you sure that Maxie is not calling for his ledehosen and fur lined mocasins?
ReplyDeleteThat scenery is gorgeous. I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to sip coffee looking out the window there.
ReplyDeleteSam
I agree...too bad about the coffee, as I love the cup and saucer!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I'm enjoying your blog and your photos...
