Slow enough to look. The surface follows the shoreline, so the corners arrive where the water decided, not where an engineer did. Water arrives beside the road and stays for 78 km. The line follows the shore because there is nowhere else for it to go.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Food stop near Hodonice
Hodonice lies in the vineyards and fields just east of Znojmo, in the southernmost corner of Moravia, a few kilometres from the Austrian border. The village is small and quiet, with a church and rows of houses, but the surrounding landscape is one of the most famous wine regions of the Czech Republic. The Znojmo area produces crisp white wines, and the cellars in the villages are often open for tasting.

2. Photo stop near Wilhelmsburg
Porcelain with a lily trademark was once found in almost every Austrian kitchen, and much of it came from Wilhelmsburg, a small industrial town in the Traisen valley south of St. Pölten. The Lilien porcelain works were famous for their simple, practical designs, and the town has a museum devoted to the history of ceramics. Today, Wilhelmsburg is a quiet place, with a church and old factory buildings, set in a valley of meadows and forests.

3. Perchtoldsdorf
Perchtoldsdorf lies on the very edge of Vienna, where the city's southern suburbs meet the first hills of the Vienna Woods, and it has the relaxed atmosphere of a wine village rather than a suburb. The hills behind the town are covered in vineyards, and the old streets are lined with Heurigen, the traditional wine taverns where producers serve their own new wine with simple cold food. When a Heuriger is open, it hangs a bunch of pine branches over the door, a sign that has been used for centuries.
