I walked to the Pöstlingbergkirche on the hill at the other side of the Donau. On the way to the top I had the first hail of my journey.

This is the view over the city from the Pöstlingberg.

Back to the city I took the Bergbahn, a small tram on narrow-gauge railway.

In the evening Christiane had a choir over at her house, they came to practice Christmas songs. I joined for one or two songs, but they can sing much better than me. After the singing a few of the members of the choir stayed and Christiane made käsespätzle, it was really good.

I walked around the city and did some sightseeing, visited the outdoorshop and went to the library to plan my journey to Wien.

The Mariendom had beautifull windows, I find it impressive how detailed they are it are almost photos.

The roof is nicely finished.

When I was going back to Christian’s house it started raining heavily, so I went into the Alterdom. It was completely empty and the organ was being played. I recorded it and if you follow the link you can listen to it.

Christiane had a meeting at her work, so I wanted to go to another organ concert but on arrival there was nothing. That made me sad. I looked at the Linz app and it said that there was also an organ concert in caleidoscoop but this was canceled. 😢 The janitor told me if I waited that I could go into a room where students were palying.

I sad goodbye to Christiane (at 6.30) had to work. Then I went to the train station to go to Wels, there was a package arrived that I needed to pick up. Then I went back to Linz and went to the library. It was closed and I had to wait pretty long before I could go in. In the waiting time I took the elevator to the top floor and enjoyed the view and wrote some postcards.

When I finally could go into the library, I started to sent out requests to people to stay over. After two and a half hours I was totally done with it literally and figuratively.
So until Wien I had done everything that I could.

I swinged my backpack on and left. At the north side of the Donau I started to follow the Jerusalem way. An hour after sunset I put up my tent at a field along the Donau.
