stift heiligenkreuz (monastery) - austria

on my road to our old classmates meet up in the czech republic, i and my young fellow passenger have had a beautiful break at the 900+ years old heiligenkreuz abbey in the wienerwald forest close to vienna, austria. it was built in 1133 and is the 2nd oldest perpetually occupied cistercian abbey in the world (next to the 4 years older rein abbey).
what a nice hall in the heiligenkreuz monastery

well, on my way back through austria i did not have much luck on the highway. i've been 29 km per hour to fast in one police control and had to pay a 100€ fine later 😢. i simply didn't seen the sign for speed reduction and my stupid car navigation does not show the usual speed limits on the road 😧.
enjoy few pictures:
