'Europa-Sportregion' celebrates Emperor Franz Joseph and many other historic events
Mount one of the traditional post buses and get a taste of those days long past!
History does not always have to be bone-dry and memory does not always have to come with a touch of mould to it. In the end it is about how those old stories are told. In Zell am See-Kaprun, the focus is on experiencing the past actively - especially this August when visitors can eyewitness a renaissance of the imperial House of Austria. On 18th August 2007 the Pinzgau takes Emperor Franz Joseph's 177th anniversary as an occasion to stage a visit of the Emperor, Sissi and their imperial entourage. The couple will start their one-day journey through the region in Zell am See and reach Mittersill by steam engine. Accompanied by a parade of vintage cars the couple will give a vivid impression of the old splendour of monarchy.
If you would like to take a journey on the 'iron horse' through the region, just book the all-inclusive 'Nostalgic Package' of the Zell am See-Kaprun and retrace the steps of the imperial couple. As little as 130 euro includes the accommodation, a ride on the historical steam train as well as the entrance fees to the Museum of Local History and vehicle museum. However, his unique offer has to be booked by 13th September.
If the vehicles from the 20ies and 30ies are not old enough for you and you would like to dig further back into the history of the region, go in for the legends of the noblemen who annually conquer Kaprun Castle. At the huge medieval market in the summer, knights cross their blades, merchants put up their manufactured goods for sale and jugglers play their tricks on the audience. And children can experience 'living history' when they participate in archery contests.
And how do you get to Kaprun? Why don't you mount one of the 2,100 post busses of the Austrian Federal Railways. Those vehicles have already been in use in the area around Salzburg for 100 years. The Austrian Federal Railways seize the opportunity to celebrate this anniversary in Zell am See - the jewel of the province. In May uncountable vintage vehicles with the logo of the Austrian Post dominated the scene. You cannot fail to notice: in Zell am See and Kaprun, the present always gives you a taste of the past!

Questions in the cable car: premiere of the Zell am See-Kaprun Gondelquiz

They have met in the cable car of the trassXpress, a state-of-the-art facility taking visitors up to Schmittenhöhe. 'Heike' answers the woman sitting next to Kaufmann shyly when being asked about her name.

The idea is not really new. For decades, travellers have collected that kind of souvenirs of their holiday destinations and stuck them to their suitcases. It's the 'barcamps' themselves that are new. They have only been organized for…
