There is nothing like a loaf of fresh baked bread! The aroma! The taste! While I served in the United States Air Force in Italy years ago, I would love to visit Villach Austria, which was an hour away and refresh at the warm bath and spa.
I first would go into the site and loved to have a fresh brewed coffee and Austrian pastry.
Walking up to the bakery one could smell the fresh bread that was just baked that morning and loved to purchase a fresh hearty baked Austrian bread to take home, which was so delicious!
