Austria. There are lots of links to great destinations.
Feel free to browse my web pages

The Capital

Edmund Hellmer's golden Strauss Monument

Austria has more than wonderful cities. The mountains, lakes, food and drink are not bad either. 2014 we had the pleasure of taking a road trip around the villages and towns. We did a lot of walking too. It was a wonderful experience.

Great Hiking

<<<<<<Vienna

Let`s start at the capital.
Vienna, Austria's largest city, is located in the Danube basin at the eastern end of the European Alpine range, near the borders of Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. Initially established as a Roman outpost and trading centre on the banks of the Danube. During the Habsburg rule turned the city into one of the world's most important capitals. It was capital of the powerful Austro-Hungarian Empire, then the second-largest empire in Europe.

Filzmoos is a town within the district of St. Johann im Pongau in the state of Salzburg, Austria. Its main income comes through tourism: skiing in winter and hiking in summer.

Mozart`s place of Birth

Salzburg
Sound of Music country. Beautiful back drops. I remember even the Mac Donalds was cool.
Austrians love their beer and so do I. The Altstadt birthplace of famed composer Mozart is preserved as a museum displaying his childhood instruments. To see more of the city watch the Slideshow below

<<<<<<Salzburg
Dont forget to have some Strudel. It is part of Austrian and German cuisine. A pudding to die for. You can also enjoy it with coffee.

Most of Austria's mountains belong to the Alps.
We have had some wonderful times walking along the mountains paths. They were very well organized. Lots of signs to point you in the right direction. Views to die for.

<<<<Pfunds - Radurschl Klamm

<<<<<<The Kaunertal Gletscherstrasse

The Alps are all around you.

<<<<Furglersee

You have got to have Wiener schnitzel. It is a popular Viennese dish made of veal and traditionally garnished with a slice of lemon and either potato salad or potatoes with parsley and butter. Powidl is a type of savoury prune jam with alcohol, another speciality from Vienna. It makes a good present as it tastes exotic and is hard to find anywhere else in the world.

Hallstatt

I have never found a person that does not find Hallstatt stunning. The setting is picture perfect. Have a look at the link below. You wont be disappointed.
