Grinzing

Grinzing, former municipality in a wine-growing area, since 1891 part of the 19th district of Vienna, large village since 1114, derived from the name "Grinco"; repeatedly destroyed by the Turkish and French armies, in the 19th century became a wine-growing village, popular destination for day-trips and summer holidays, today famous Heuriger village. Grinzing has preserved its small-town character (classified as a historic monument) and is surrounded by vineyards; it is situated in a valley in the foothills of the Vienna Woods.

words above sound nice, but fact is that Grinzing is going down the hill, more and more "Heurige" are closed and become home for the rich. viennese government does not much to stop destroying of the old parts - but one day they all will cry and wonder "why are no tourists coming anymore ???"

We have not been to Grinzing since 1958. Way too long! We will be making a visit to Austria this summer and would like to have dinner at a restaurant we enjoyed those many years ago. The ambience is memorable as was the food. We distinctly remember a strolling violinist and though he would most likely not be there any longer, we would love to revisit the restaurant. Can anyone help us to pinpoint this beautiful spot?

An interesting gallery showing a part of the world that I haven't seen. The compositions are excellent ... well done.

Well...I felt moved! I have not been in Wien for too many years and suddenly it came to my mind last time I was there and the totally surrealistic adventures I had with a group of very serious and very seriously drunk Japanese. Your gallery is splendid, vibrating with warm colours and joy of life. Thank you! Marisa
