for information, education and entertainment • NOVEMBER 2008 Rolling On the River with Burt Wolf

Each week, WUSF TV/DT viewers join Burt Wolf, the genial host of Burt Wolf: Travels & Traditions, on his journeys around the world. Wolf has traveled by plane, train and automobile — but a river cruise is his favorite way to see Europe. This month, on November 12, during a two-hour special, Wolf takes us through the heart of Europe on three voyages along the winding Danube River. In Cruising the Danube, Wolf kicks off his leisurely journey in Budapest and then stops off at the fairy tale castles and hidden streets of Burt Wolf’s two- Bratislava, Dürnstein, Melk, Grein, Linz hour river cruise and Passau before coming full circle to Budapest. On his second expedition, special airs Christmas in Vienna, Wolf sets shore November 12 in Vienna, Austria, exploring ancient Christmas traditions (some edible!) at 8 p.m. and festivities at locations ranging WUSF TV/DT from the magnificent Habsburg castle to Vienna’s celebrated outdoor Channel 16 Christmas markets. On the last leg of the voyage, Austrian Monasteries, Wolf takes us inside the abbeys at Melk and Klosterneuburg — each a fascinating realm of history, tradition and treasure. Wolf concludes his journey with lunch at the restaurant of one of Europe’s most talented chefs. Intrigued? If you’re more than an armchair traveler, you can join Burt Wolf in July 2009 on a Danube River cruise with other WUSF friends. Find more information about this once-in-a-lifetime voyage inside!
