virpazar is a picturesque place on lake skadar surrounded by intact unspoiled nature. the lake itself is a natural habitat of many rare bird species like pelican, heron, cormorant, ducks, snipe, partridge and stork. for hunters and fisherman this is a real paradise.
if you decide to visit us, you will be able to enjoy home-made fish specialities and various traditional meals. the food, the comfort of our rooms, the lake itself will make your holoday unique and full of pleasant surprises.
sauseschritt reads in a folder provided by the hosts, zorka and toman zec, who are running the pelikan restaurant and hotel in virpazar on the shore of shkodar lake near the border to albania. they do not only offer a small hotel and wonderful boat trips round the lake but also very impressing lunches and dinners. only their official website is (currently) not working. sometimes life can simple, friendly and easygoing.



sauseschritt wants to share some photographic remains from bucharest before going to hot, hot montenegro to spend a wonderful weekend with work. for those being interested in streetart, sauseschritt would like to draw your attention again to

erinnerung: jede/r hat sie, jede/r spiegelt sich in darin und jubelösterreich bedient sich ihrer im übermaß. das mag legitim sein, begründet aber noch lange nicht

der mogul der österreichischen geschichtsanekdote ist hugo portisch, denn ihm verdanken wir, dass wir uns wiederfinden in einem wust an bildern und wabbernden kommentaren und es uns gut geht auf erden. dafür lieben wir ihn und seine erinnerungsmaschine. schon in den achtzigern, anläßlich seiner serien österreich I und österreich II hatte ein gutteil der österreichischen lehrerschaft vor ihm kapituliert und ihm den zeitgeschichte-unterricht überlassen: videokassette rein, ton ab und die schüler verstummten im bilderrausch. portisch war schon damals der geschichtslehrer der nation, dem sich jüngst anläßlich des festaktes zum jubiläum der wiedererrichtung der 2. republik auch die österreichischen politiker/innen




der/die städter/in ist wieder einmal sprachlos. noch [vor kurzem ....] hatte sich lokales brauchtum für sauseschritt als irritierend erwiesen. diesmal gilt dies auch auf 1600 m seehöhe!
samstag vormittags: mitten im nationalpark und fremdenverkehrsgebiet


dies ist schließlich tatsächlich der fall. während unsere herzen stocken, gibt sich der einheimische am nebentisch gelassen und murmelt etwas von funkgeräten. ahnungslos passiert das wanderpaar. jagdszenen aus kärnten, also, im naturpark nockberge. es lebe der naturschutz und das wanderbare österreich!


sometimes sauseschritt has the special feeling to be in prison when being on business trip. the last last non-opportunity to get to know a city was sofia, which only could be seen from the skyescraper of kempinsky hotel. at least to share these pictures:

the film has touched a raw nerve among audiences in the balkans, questioning what many see as an integral part of their national identities and ultimately, peeva believes, showing just how much they have in common. the documentary follows peeva through macedonia, turkey, greece, albania, bosnia, serbia and bulgaria. in most countries, the tune is a love song with varying lyrics, but in others, such as turkey and bosnia, it has also been used as a war song. in each country the reactions are the same as people display shock, anger, or disbelief when peeva suggests the same tune is also claimed by their neighbors, writes the
international herald tribune about this movie.
one of these evenings in sofia, which perfectly would match activities of the business day. we talked about the movie, the so called truth, (semi-)censorship undertaken by international democratic bodies, disturbing art and personal bewilderment, the life and the so called balkans. last, but not least, it was about us: private identities of persons being identified as bulgarian, serbian, romanian, austrian and european. we had a lot of food, alcohol, laughter and interest in each other. and the movie was part of it. thank you all for the wonderful evening.
