The members enjoyed perfect weather while traveling through Italy's natural beauty en route to Austria. They stumbled upon a stunning emerald lake, prompting an impromptu stop to soak in the romantic scenery. While the youngest member imagined it as a fairy's secret bathing spot, the older members humorously shattered that illusion. As they approached the border, Kwak Sun-young expressed her amazement at crossing into another country by car.

Austria's vast plains offered a different charm compared to Italy, especially as they entered Salzburg, a city rich in royal culture. The picturesque streets and historic buildings captivated the group. Lee Joo-bin, who had long dreamed of experiencing royal culture, dressed elegantly, embodying the grace of a princess. A surprising encounter occurred when a street musician greeted Ra Mi-ran in Korean, revealing that his wife had worked on the OST for one of her dramas, creating a delightful moment.

Their first stop to indulge in royal culture was a dessert café known for serving treats once delivered to the royal family. Lee Se-young humorously remarked that the restroom was prettier than her own room. The group savored Mozart-style coffee and royal signature cakes, immersing themselves in the luxurious lifestyle. When a massive signature dessert arrived, Ra Mi-ran and Lee Se-young joked about the high calories, yet they couldn't resist the sweet temptation.

The members also visited Mirabell Gardens, famous as a filming location for The Sound of Music. They took photos, enjoying a moment of fantasy as they pretended to be princesses. Ra Mi-ran, who had longed to visit this location, even performed an impromptu show for Korean fans she met there, showcasing her lively spirit. While the older members reminisced about the film, the younger ones were simply in awe, highlighting the generational gap.

As they strolled through Salzburg's charming streets, the members were touched by the affectionate displays of an elderly couple, inspiring them to dream of a life filled with love. Lee Se-young, enchanted by the fairy-tale-like scenery, began to skip with joy, and when they spotted Harry Potter-themed imagery, the younger members playfully cast spells together, showcasing their unique chemistry.

The journey to the campsite was filled with breathtaking views. Lee Se-young sang a line from BTS's "Fire" as they admired the vibrant red peaks. The campsite in Hallstatt resembled a scene from a fairy tale, complete with charming campers and gardens. Despite their earlier resolve not to eat dinner, the members couldn't resist a ramen feast, bringing laughter to the group. Lee Joo-bin, who initially resisted the temptation, eventually joined in on the late-night snack fun.

The next morning, the members finally took in the enchanting views of the campsite. The owner, resembling a character from a fairy tale, introduced them to a vintage camper converted from an old carriage. The members were captivated by the antique charm of the camper, eagerly anticipating their adventures in the fairy-tale village of Hallstatt.
