Schärding & Wels £25
Begin at the charming little town of Schärding, one of Austria’s best-kept secrets. Admire the much-photographed ‘Silver Row’, a pristine
multi-coloured parade of identically shaped gabled houses, explore the exquisite cobbled back streets, or from the Schlosspark savour
the views of river Inn and the old moatencircled castle.
To Wels next, celebrated for its old square with the imperial yellow
Rathaus, the renaissance House of Salome Alt, complete with rich trompe l’oeil paintwork and ornate windows, and more than 800 shops and numerous cafes serving delicious home baked Austrian cakes filled or topped with the all important Schlag, delicious whipped cream.
