Trip Summary

I used my bike to visit the northwest of Vienna, biking first there, before eventually making a round to/from Jubiläumswarte on foot. One the way back, I then passed by the Mahnmal für die Opfer vom Spiegelgrund (memorial commemorating the victims at Spiegelgrund) at night, seeing the 772 steles lit for the first time. Clearly, it is very moving to visit this memorial at night!
