While I did not have time to take in the whole studio tour I did get to take 3 of my grandchildren to visit the studio and grounds of Viktor Tinkl. If you missed it this year make sure you don't next year. The walls of the Buildings, the roof tops the ground nothing is left untouched the amazingly creative Viktor Tinkl has surrounded his home with bizarre concrete aqua ducts, gargoyles, figurines and whimsical whatnot's. Tin Soldiers, glass and concrete figurines pools and pumps, hand operated thingamajigs the list just goes on and on.This stop alone kept the children (all under the age of 10) enthralled, entertained and amused for over 1.5 hours.
