Unlike during the medieval time – when Austrian Kings and Emperors (House of Habsburg) ruled more than half of the known world – today, Austria is a small country – and except of Vienna – there are no real large cities – except – maybe Salzburg.<\/p>\n

Vienna as capital of the country centralizes most of the governmental duties but the city still has it\u00b4s charme.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that the only real large city is Vienna – there are lots of beautiful places to see in this country.<\/p>\n

We found that on the one hand Tirol with the Area around Innsbruck is a place to be – on the other side – the so called “Salzkammergut” – which is easy reachable by car from Munich within a short time of travel.<\/p>\n

There you find beautiful lakes, rivers and also alpine environment to go for skiing, hiking and having fun with your canoe on one of the many rivers that flow here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Schafberg – either a nice climb or a drive with the historic train up the mountain to the top where you have a great view and some traditional food.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As soon as you enter the alpine area, please be carefully and aware that weather conditions might change quickly. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Definitely: Don\u00b4t enter this area with sandals, Flip-Flops<\/a> or shoes not made for outdoor activities! Please use weather proof Hiking Gear!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Especially with kids you\u00b4ll find a lot of things to do here.<\/p>\n

One of our favourite places in this area is Bad Ischl, the Wolfgang-See and the area around Dachstein.\u00a0This covers also the Hallstatt<\/a>-Area (UNESCO World Heritage). The Hallstatt-Salines are a must see and must be! 7.000 years ago, the inhabitants of Hallstatt started digging for salt – which was then more expensive than Gold. They traded all around the known world and founded a rich town – which is now forgotten.<\/p>\n

You can see the remainings still and walk the prehistoric graveyards.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bad Ischl<\/a> – is one of the smaller towns in the Salzkammergut-Area.<\/p>\n

It is so beautiful, that even the Austrian Emperors chose this place to spend their summer time here. You will find the emperor\u00b4s villa near the river, where you still can see and feel a touch of the old spirit of the k.u.k Monarchy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

When you enter the place and look around Emperor Franz<\/a> and Emperess\u00a0Sissi\u00b4s<\/a> home – breathe the special atmosphere and try to imagine what would have been, if you would have visited this place 150 years ago.<\/p>\n

Austria is a beautiful little country that offers a \u00a0lot to see and experience.<\/p>\n

When it comes to good food and coffee specialties – Austria is unbeaten and believe us – it is unbeatable!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Traditional “Wiener Schnitzel” with cooked potatoes and jam from red berries. If it is “branded” Wiener Schnitzel – the meat is veal! (NOT PORK)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No country in the world has more flavours and variants of coffee in the world and this is extended also to cake and other fresh bakery food.<\/p>\n
