Started the morning in Kutná Hora, an old silver mining town. Visited St. Barbara’s Church. From an engineering perspective, the structural design of the Gothic flying buttresses is highly impressive. The area was quiet, with very few tourists around. For a quick lunch, I found a small street-side tavern away from the main path. Had a plate of local pork stew and bread for about 240 CZK (around 4 OMR). Simple, heavy food.

After lunch, we drove for exactly 4 hours to reach Linz, Austria's third-largest city. It’s a major industrial center—they supply parts for Mercedes-Benz here. It felt much more industrial than touristy.

By 19:30, we walked into the New Cathedral. It is a massive structure, built to hold up to 20,000 people. There was a sermon and organ music playing. I didn’t understand the language, but the acoustic engineering of the high ceilings made the sound incredibly clear and calming.

Walked back to the hotel around 21:00. The temperature dropped to 17°C, which is freezing for someone used to Muscat weather. Total steps logged today: 14,200.

Mount Pöstlingberg, located north of Linz, Austria, rises approximately 539 meters and is one of the city's most iconic tourist attractions. It boasts not only beautiful natural scenery but also panoramic views of Linz, the Danube River, and the distant Alps, making it a prime location for enjoying city vistas. In the early 18th century, with the construction of the Mount Pöstling Temple, a pilgrimage church, it gradually became a renowned religious site. The Mount Pöstling Railway, opened in 1898, is one of the world's most famous mountain railways, attracting numerous tourists with its steep gradients and stunning scenery. The Grottenbahn, built in 1906, adds a touch of fairytale charm to the mountaintop, allowing passengers to ride a dragon-shaped train through mysterious caves and witness scenes from classic fairytales like "Snow White" and "Little Red Riding Hood," making it a favorite among families. Combining natural beauty, historical culture, religious architecture, and a fairytale theme park, Mount Pöstlingberg is not only a symbol of Linz but also an excellent destination for experiencing Austrian culture and leisure tourism.
