Vienna 2017 – I

Back in Vienna for EGU and for a long weekend of sightseeing.
Anker Clock, famous astronomical watch built by Franz von Matsch located at the High Market in downtown Vienna. What we are looking at according to the legend at 3 pm is Duke Leopold VI with his wife.
I have not found out what “Stehachterl” (literally, 1/8th standing) stands for – whether you have to drink 1/8 of wine while standing or so, but it is apparently a quite famous bar in what they call the Bermuda Triangle of Vienna.
