Nicole, I had no idea about some of the facts given. And I am of Austrian descent. LOL. I didn't know that the Austrian Flag was so old. Also, it was fascinating to learn about the Krimmler Wasserfälle. Great podcast! Danke!
Das freut mich sehr, Michele! Bitte sehr. :)
Mein österreichischer Freund sagt, dass der richtige Begriff Nationalfeiertag ist.
Another potato /potahto?
I haven't re-visited my notes, but from what I remember it was made their Nationaltag in 1955 and then it was made a Nationalfeiertag (a holiday) in 1965.
