We embarked on a Christmas markets cruise with Grand Circle Travel in November ’07, spending four days in Austria and three days in Germany. On the day we were in Linz, Austria, it snowed very hard in the morning, greatly reducing visibility. Our guide mentioned the turn-of-the-century streetcar to Pöstlingsberg Church at the top of the mountain and said that if the snow stopped, the view would be magnificent. It stopped mid-morning, and we took the streetcar straight up the hill to this beautiful church. We could see for miles from the lookout point.
