This little town was my "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" pick

When traveling in Austria, I loved the ancient city of Graz so much that I deliberately stayed a few extra days. The ultimate joy of travel might just be that feeling of aimless wandering leading to unexpected encounters. So, standing at Graz train station, I started playing "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" with the destination names on the departure board. This blind selection led me to the charming town of Ehrenhausen. The town isn't large or particularly famous, but for someone like me who enjoys aimless strolls, it was a delightful surprise. I didn't even know when the ancient church by the roadside was built or who it was associated with - that didn't matter. What mattered was how soothing this purposeless wandering felt. The town was nearly empty of people, with only the occasional vintage car driving by, conspicuously out of place yet somehow carrying the town's essence. I found a roadside café and sat there for nearly an hour - no rush, no checklist, just slowing down the pace. The café owner mentioned there was a nice winery nearby producing excellent white wine, worth a visit if interested. But after walking quite far, I never found that winery - perhaps his idea of "nearby" was calculated by car speed! Though I didn't gain deep knowledge or taste the wine the owner mentioned, it didn't affect my impression of this town. It's tranquil, fresh, with a vintage charm - not glamorous or trendy, but containing a certain rustic grandeur. 🚊About 30 minutes by train from Graz station, the stop appears to be Ehrenhausen; 🥙There are a few fast food places and cafés in town, but restaurants seem to close after lunch - better bring some snacks if you're going.
