Austria has few peers as a year-round holiday destination, with plenty of winter sports in the Alps, some of the most impressive and overblown architecture in Europe and an unrivalled musical tradition that even The Sound of Music couldn't sully.
Austria's cities have plenty to engage visitors: Vienna is the capital, hub of the country's musical life and littered with beautiful buildings; music, art and architecture reach baroque perfection in Salzburg, Mozart's birthplace; Innsbruck's snow-capped peaks frame fascinating historic buildings.

I was asked to give a brief spontaneous introduction to the St. Wolfgang pilgrimage route and church as well as to the Wolfgangsee. The video ends a bit abruptly and I did misspeak, the line dividing the lake was the silk thread line, not the silver ... Read more >

As travel is currently restricted, I spend lots of time exploring the mountains and valleys close to home. The pandemic and pending election in the U.S. give cause for concern and I choose to find solace in nature. This new videopoem relates ... Read more >

Pitched up on a beautiful campsite by a lake. Been mountain biking using the ski lifts to get up the mountain. Fantastic riding but very challenging! Beautiful sunny weather.

Our last day in Salzburg so we decided to find the last few Sound of Music spots. We headed out in dubious weather and came across a storm – luckily there was a sky dome (part of an art installation) available. It has a hole in the ... Read more >

Our tour picked us up at our motel and off we went. For the first time this trip we found an Aussie travelling with us. Jennifer from North Melbourne, and she was good company for the tour. We went to all the main sights from the movie ... Read more >

Our timing was excellent – all we could see 100m in each direction was fog. So lucky with yesterday. Caught the train back to Salzburg, booked in and went wandering the old town. Found the steps and both fountains from “... Read more >

I think we are the only people in this accommodation – it is great 😊. We chatted with Dirk and Andrea about what to do today and they suggested the chair lift – and how exciting could that be? So we caught the bus to the base ... Read more >

Left our little motel which was very much a rabbit warren – I think there were about 10 corners from the lift to our room. The weather had improved for us. This meant a pretty train ride to Salzburg but from there it was a beautiful ... Read more >
