"Burguine Steinschloss". You misread the name. It's Burgruine Steinschloss Burg = Castle Ruine = Ruin Stein = Stone Schloss = Castle (not mainly for defense purposes)
Visited everything here except 4 and 11. But we also stayed in Vienna for two days. Highly recommended! And 1 day in Innsbruck. Austria is a beautiful country with wonderful people. Highly, highly recommended!
Here are 10 more must-see places in Austria: 1) Wachau: Rent a bike in Krems and cycle along the Danube to Weißenkirchen (or take a boat). It's a UNESCO world heritage site for a reason. 2) Visit Southern Styria's wine area: Drive by car along the so called "Weinstraße" (wine road) from Ehrenhausen to Leutschach 3) Visit the famous Green lake - a paradise for divers and hikers alike 4) Bad Aussee: An incredibly beautiful village with a gorgeous lake. 5) Go skiiing in Zürs/Lech. Some of the finest powder snow you'll ever see. And cheaper than Switzerland. 6) Cycle along the Danube from Passau (German border) to Vienna. There's a perfect cycle path along the entire route, with fantastic infrastructure incl. restaurants and hotels. 7) Innsbruck and Kitzbühel. Two stunning Tyrolean mountain towns. In winter they are a great base for skiing, in summer for hiking. 8) Castle Hohenwerfen. One of the prettiest European castle. You might instantly recognize it from movies. Another must-see castle is Burg Hochosterwitz. 9) Nuclear power plant Zwentendorf: The only fully functional nuclear power plant, that has NEVER been used, thus, it's the only place where you can actually visit the core. 10) Eisriesenwelt (in Salzburg): The largest ice cave in the World. Stunning!
Thank you man! I'm living in south Poland, I have 3.5 hours to Vienna so I'm searching for places near to explore. Wachau seems to be interesting to explore.
So much beauty 😍 We recently went to Austria and Poland both beautiful countries. We haven't posted our Poland 😍 vlog yet but we just uploaded our Austria vlog, maybe you can check it out and let us know what you think, only if you want to 😝
I live in upper styria and its amazing driving from south styria where the geographie is quite flat, or rather hilly to upper styria where you get to see more and more mountains until you cant even look at the horizon.
Austria is a very beautiful and peaceful country. Since I left Austria I have always wanted to go back for holidays and also see some of my teenage years places we stayed like in . Niederosterreich and Steiermark. I really missed Austria.
I am planning a trip for my parent’s 33rd anniversry to Austria. My father visited the country as a student in the 70’s and 80’s and always said its one of the most amazing countries he has ever been to , and he has been to many and gave his kids the travel bug too. This video was very helpful and I can see why my father loved this country, thank you.
I am from Austria and I feel like to less people are speaking about it, so thank you!😊 Of course I think there are even more beautiful places in Austria you should visit🏔 Today is Austrians National Day🥳
@@RyanShirley the way the landscape just opened up driving from hallstatt to gosau, i thought was amazing, so i would say gosau. View over Wolfgang see was also lovely. Olperer hike was nice but weather wasnt great that day. Grossglockner was a Great road but quite a lot of traffic, even for september, i would recommend also the silvretta hochalpenstrasse with hardly any traffic.
I was at the Grossglocknerroad once. In my childhood in the 80's. Haven't seen the area since but I had some memories in my brain how it looked. Haven't seen it since, and your droneshots were quite shocking to me. The snow and ice I remember.... all gone. That glacier lake that you loved so much... wasn't there. The glacier was there were the lake is now.
No way! Thats really interesting to hear about you going there so long ago. I was a little sad by the size of the glacier. Global warming is taking its toll
exactly, being from Austria, my grandparents tell me the same thing.. that when my mother was younger and they would go on holidays with their children, the glacier was huuuge, now nearly everything gone. :(
*I was there in around 1962 and it's totally unrecognisable today, I remember in July 'tobogganing' down the ice sheets and snow on a plastic sheet with 2 pals. Also trying to be clever 'freewheeling' down to Heiligenblut am Großglockner, for an evening for a few beers, and boiling the brake fluid on my Citroen DS19 on the descent. Stayed at the Hotel near the summit and cost around £1 a night, can't remember the name. Remember had **_Vienna Schnitzel_** for the first time, and delicious but since finding out from baby cows would never do again. Yes Global Warming has altered these places enormously as in Switzerland with huge Glaciers retreating, however I ask "Is it Man Made" This I doubt very much. Once a Glacier starts melting it exposed bare 'dark' rock which at these latitudes absorb tremendous heat during the summer and have a very accelerated progression. Still a very beautiful area to experience the power of nature and our wonderful world we live in.*
The most beautiful place in Austria for me is Großglockner Hochalpenstrasse. I am not Austrian but I have been there 38 times. Climbing Großglockner and going inside and under glacier are amazing too.
I think that requires a lot of traveling, I usually see the very big travel video makers publish top 10 videos after having spent about 3 months of traveling in one country. Nevertheless, Austria is super beautiful! Greetings from your Swiss neighbor.
The east part of the country is not so exciting anyway. Its mostly smaller hils and wide open fields of agriculture. Only places worth visiting are of course Vienna and probably the Schneeberg which is a 2000m mountain. There is a railway which takes you almost to the top of the mountain. The southern part however is very nice with Carinthia!
Being from Austria I can only agree. One thing I notice though is that no one seems to do the tour through the ancient saline mines. I've done the tour many times myself and over the years they massively improved. With the newest renovation they even added a virtual reality movie. Definitely worth a visit! There's also one very interesting story about the stone lions of Hallstatt. They don't have a tongue (and the stone mason drowned himself because of that but that's a different story 😂).
Yes, I'm surprised you left out Hallstatt given its proximity to Salzburg. Protip: the tour guides are pretty "salty" (pun intended) and don't really like doing the tour in English. So, I translated for my family while he gave the same spiel in German and Italian. I've been to Hallstatt every time I go to Austria, because it's pretty unique and a reasonable fee.
Thank you for sharing these beautfiul pictures of my home! I am happy that friends from all over the world come to visit us and then share how much they enjoyd their time. Come back, when you have the time, bring your family, you are always welcome. 🙂
I am very lucky that my partner is Austrian who is living in Pinzgau. I have been travelling to Austria a few times a year for the past three years. Indeed, this country is absolutely gorgeous and Austrians are actually very friendly people, at least those who are not in the cities. I have been to some of the places you've mentioned here and surely will visit Großglockner Hochalpenstraße next summer. Thank you for the beautiful video.
I loved this so much. Thank you for making it and uploading it. Must have been hard to leave all of that....it's something you always keep with you for the rest of your life.
Watching this as an Austrian living near Vienna. I have only been to the city of Salzburg once, which was beautiful, but have never seen the mountains and nature there! This is a great video even for Austrians!
The stairs down to the glacier are actually perfect evidence of climate change in the Alps. when they were built, they took you directly down to the surface of the glacier. By around 2000, you already had to climb down for about 15 minutes to reach the ice. in the meantime some additional distance to the ice has been added.😢 Awesome video!
It doesn`t mean Gosausseen lake the lake is in the Name. "Seen" is in German "Lake". Besides that Awesome Video, Austria is so beautiful. Greetings from Germany.
Austria is amazingly beautiful, and you captured it so well! My heart breaks that I may never this beautiful country or its people again. My wife was Austrian, born in Villach, grew up around Millstätter See. She just unexpectedly passed away last month. We were planning on returning back to her homeland next May for her birthday. She wanted to show me more places like you have in the video. Sure Salzburg and Vienna were amazing when we visited, but I enjoyed the most when we visited small villages, hidden mountain lakes, places not always filled with tourists. There is something special about being with a native speaker, you get to enjoy the experience that much more. I will forever be touched by all the beautiful people I met in my visits to Austria. Thank you for sharing this video, it made me happy and sad all at once. Ich liebe Österreich!
Ah thanks Richard for your heart felt comment. I'm so sorry for the passing of your wife. I wish you could have visited Austria with her. I hope you can return one day and she can accompany you in spirit. All the best! Ryan
I live close to Austria and visited there several times. I absolutely love this country. The Alpine region is just astonishing. I love how they take care of nature and it always comes before the infrastructure and people's houses. It's green, beautiful, clean, people are nice and friendly and I love the food too. People are often surprised by how amazing this country is.
Austria or Italy are the only countries I want to go to I love the little towns with all the amazing architecture you don’t see stuff like that in the USA I think the mountains are awesome and the lakes are gorgeous I’ve been around a lot of the USA but these shots look a lot cooler then the Grand Canyon or Mount Rushmore was.
I am actually from Austria and i love how you showed people some not so well known places which are really, really awesome. Of course it's nice to see vienna, but all in all it is a big european capital like many others. I recommend anyone to take a trip through the country with a rental car. It doesn't even have to be super high mounains or Tyrol, southern upper Austria and Salzburg region works superfine.
Right you are. Those places are really beautiful. But I would call it top 10 of western Austria. I am from Austria and I am learning every day how beautiful this place on earth really is.
I like to follow your blog and your selection of Dolomites was right on top. For Austria, you picked out great spots - no doubt, but it's evident that you haven't spend enough time to see the whole country. So I wouldn't call them 'Top 10 Places To Visit In Austria'. Austria is a different animal than Switzerland or the Dolomites as the variance is so much bigger from cultural heritages to salt mines (good comment by Jana!) to totally flat lakes (+ it's double the size as Switzerland). To make a long story short: besides the wonderful towns of Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck, I would not want to miss: - Lake Salfeins, Tirol - Karwendel, Tirol - Burg Dürnstein, Niederösterreich - Neusiedlersee - Sölkpass, Styria + one ore the other monastery like Melk or Göttweig
Michael00000001 thanks so much Michael for your extra suggestion! I only had 3 days there so I definitely missed a lot of places! But I’m thankful you added some extra spots! Are you from Austria?
I know it’s been said a thousand times in the comments but as an Austrian I really don’t Manage to appreciate my countries beauty as much as should. That’s why I love watching these kinds of videos
I love Austria ❤ i visited Innsbruck. Salzburg. Vienna. Very lovely place. Clean. Educated people. Wonderful country. Just I need one boyfriend form there 😂 for travel more there 👍
Another tip if you like castles visit the castle "Burg Hochosterwitz" and if you are in Carinthia simlply drive to the lake called "Woerthersee" and there take a bike and drive around the lake. You will pass beautiful towns and locations like "Maria Woerth", "Velden", "Pyramidenkogel".
I was born in Austria I came to America when I was 4 years old looking back at these beautiful places it makes me realize God's creation as many wonders in the world
As an Austrian I have to say that there is so much more to this country than the Alps. The eastern regions offer a quite different but equally beautiful scenery. Rolling green hills, pittoresque wine regions and close to the hungarian border flat lowlands and a steppe lake with unique fauna and flora. Some of the planes mentioned in this video are simply overrated tourist traps. Like Hallstatt, which is more like an open air museum than a lived in village.
To be honest, being from Austria I can say that there are definitely so many more beautiful places than those mentioned in the video! You have only visited the super touristy spots unfortunately
I think there are two Austrias. The 90% which are smaller towns and mountainous areas, and the Vienna area. Vienna is worth an entire video in itself, it's an amazing city, I spent a couple years there. It's a pretty massive capital city and one can feel it was the capital of an Empire not long ago.
I live in Austria , the Area known as Carinthia ( Karnten) has the most sunshine in the country , and some amazing lakes , and the Lesachtal valley is the most natural in the alps , worth a visit
@@RyanShirley I'm from lower Austria it's the biggest federal state. Now I am living in Vienna and I really like it. You should visit Vienna, Styria, Carinthia and Tyrol also. In Styria for example you can visit many wineyards, castles, there are soft hills,.. It's famous for its drinks and food, for example Uhudler, pumpkin seed oil, different fruits. I like it! 😊
My first visit to Austria was sometime in the mid 90s to attend a military course in Vienna. It was my first visit to an European country, and I have loved this country ever since and haven't had enough of it. Been there 4 times and visited Vienna, Salzburg, Wels and my Austrian friend's birthplace in Wolfsegg. The last time I was there was in 2006 when I brought my wife there for our honeymoon. She too fell in love with the country the minute she stepped onto Austrian soil. Everything was so magical!!! Heaven is a place called Austria! 😍❤😊
Hi Ryan. My wife and I went up Schafberg the other day and walked around Gosau lake yesterday. Thanks for the recommendations. They were amazing!!! Cheers Peter.
@@Yo19724 Aso, da bei den Pyrenäen? Ja kann auch sein, wobei da die Berge schon sehr anders sind. Die Fjorde in Norwegen erinnern mich halt immer a bissi an Ö mit Meer ;)
I am Swiss, living in Austria. Austria is better for most people, special when you have kids. Better means cheaper without to miss something. Most Tourists in Austria are from: (by this oder) Germany (about 40% in total) , Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, UK, Czech Rep, US, France, Belgium.
I was in Austria last year for twice. And I love this country. We also visited Hallstatt and Wolfgangsee and I want work there if I will have luck in next months and no lockdown :)
Awesome video man! Your choices are really great :) For the next time you come and see Austria you should visit the Faaker See, Bärenschützklamm, Eispalast Hintertux and all the beautiful landscapes in Autumn - you are going to love it! Greetings from Graz :)
I can definitely relate to your love of incredible alpine settings. You've presented some of my favorite places including the Lofoten Islands. I'm going to have to move beyond my Hallstatt experience and check out your other 9 spots. Your recs have a 100% awesomeness score so far!
@@RyanShirley Once I live in Teuvenbach, it ist the village where you filmed "Stein Schloss". But now I'm in Murau. When you drive back to Vienna you also was there. We have a very nice beer.
as an austrian you don't really realize how beautiful austria is but when i see the videos i can really see how pretty i live
Its one wonderful country :)
Yes Austria 🇦🇹 is a very beautiful county..
yeah but he only fillmed the alps and not the other parts of Austia

Here are 10 more must-see places in Austria:

so austria is more beautiful than switzerland. Unfortunately austria is less popular than siwtzerland
Jako lijepa zemlja, respekt!
It always baffles me to see Hallstatt in these lists. It's a theme park atmosphere - so many more authentic-feeling places around it that are better
I can see that, it definitely is overrated! I should have focused more on other more authentic Austrian villages

My wife was Austrian, born in Villach, grew up around Millstätter See. She just unexpectedly passed away last month. We were planning on returning back to her homeland next May for her birthday. She wanted to show me more places like you have in the video. Sure Salzburg and Vienna were amazing when we visited, but I enjoyed the most when we visited small villages, hidden mountain lakes, places not always filled with tourists. There is something special about being with a native speaker, you get to enjoy the experience that much more. I will forever be touched by all the beautiful people I met in my visits to Austria. Thank you for sharing this video, it made me happy and sad all at once. Ich liebe Österreich!
Ah thanks Richard for your heart felt comment. I'm so sorry for the passing of your wife. I wish you could have visited Austria with her. I hope you can return one day and she can accompany you in spirit. All the best! Ryan
Number one should be the Attersee, i lived there for 15 years and its the most beautiful lake you have ever seen, in summer the water is so clear
I would like to go there,,, but we can't 😢😢
The only just say Hey from Bali.
I live close to Austria and visited there several times. I absolutely love this country. The Alpine region is just astonishing. I love how they take care of nature and it always comes before the infrastructure and people's houses. It's green, beautiful, clean, people are nice and friendly and I love the food too. People are often surprised by how amazing this country is.
This part of Austria is simply amazing! I will visit it again some day.
Austria or Italy are the only countries I want to go to I love the little towns with all the amazing architecture you don’t see stuff like that in the USA I think the mountains are awesome and the lakes are gorgeous I’ve been around a lot of the USA but these shots look a lot cooler then the Grand Canyon or Mount Rushmore was.
This video gave me goosebumps. Going to Austria at the first opportunity.. thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful country love from 🇹🇷
Yeeesss, its a great great gift to live in this amazing country-its a holy place🙏
Such a special place :)
I am actually from Austria and i love how you showed people some not so well known places which are really, really awesome. Of course it's nice to see vienna, but all in all it is a big european capital like many others. I recommend anyone to take a trip through the country with a rental car. It doesn't even have to be super high mounains or Tyrol, southern upper Austria and Salzburg region works superfine.
I was born in this paradise!
Right you are. Those places are really beautiful. But I would call it top 10 of western Austria. I am from Austria and I am learning every day how beautiful this place on earth really is.
Which parts of the alps is the most bueatiful to visit?
In carinthia there are also some beatifull spots
Very nice video...I love Austria
Didn't know Austria was this beautiful before!
Me neighter. The sad thing is that I'm from Austria.
@@antheiheiant das ist wirklich traurig 😅
Wonderful scenic ! I feel like to go there. Thanks for the video
You missed „Wachau“, a UNESCO world heritage at the danube where all the winehills are.
Such a beautiful Place. I would loved to Visit this places. Thank you for the Video 😍
Austria is waiting :)
I like to follow your blog and your selection of Dolomites was right on top. For Austria, you picked out great spots - no doubt, but it's evident that you haven't spend enough time to see the whole country. So I wouldn't call them 'Top 10 Places To Visit In Austria'. Austria is a different animal than Switzerland or the Dolomites as the variance is so much bigger from cultural heritages to salt mines (good comment by Jana!) to totally flat lakes (+ it's double the size as Switzerland). To make a long story short: besides the wonderful towns of Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck, I would not want to miss:
- Lake Salfeins, Tirol
- Karwendel, Tirol
- Burg Dürnstein, Niederösterreich
- Neusiedlersee
- Sölkpass, Styria
+ one ore the other monastery like Melk or Göttweig
Michael00000001 thanks so much Michael for your extra suggestion! I only had 3 days there so I definitely missed a lot of places! But I’m thankful you added some extra spots! Are you from Austria?
@@RyanShirley originally yes. Every year spending some days or weeks there. Living in Switzerland.
@@Michael00000001 Very cool! What part of Switzerland?
@@RyanShirley Zurich - BTW: your Switzerland video is awesome!
The Neusiedlersee is overratet the southstyrian winestreet is (especialy in Artum) so much more beatiful.
I know it’s been said a thousand times in the comments but as an Austrian I really don’t Manage to appreciate my countries beauty as much as should. That’s why I love watching these kinds of videos
Thanks Daniel! What part of Austria are you from?
@@RyanShirley My dad’s from the US, but my mother is Austrian. And I was born in Waldviertel (a part of lower Austria). Also thanks for replying
I love Austria ❤ i visited Innsbruck. Salzburg. Vienna. Very lovely place. Clean. Educated people. Wonderful country. Just I need one boyfriend form there 😂 for travel more there 👍
Another tip if you like castles visit the castle "Burg Hochosterwitz" and if you are in Carinthia simlply drive to the lake called "Woerthersee" and there take a bike and drive around the lake. You will pass beautiful towns and locations like "Maria Woerth", "Velden", "Pyramidenkogel".
Thanks for the great suggestion :)
@@RyanShirley Lago di fusine is also not far away, it is the most beautiful lake I know.
My ancestors come from there.I want to go.
I was born in Austria I came to America when I was 4 years old looking back at these beautiful places it makes me realize God's creation as many wonders in the world
Is America beautiful too?
You should visit the "Grüner See" in Styria. It's also amazing.
Wow it looks very alike Synevyr lake in my Ukraine.

As an Austrian I have to say that there is so much more to this country than the Alps. The eastern regions offer a quite different but equally beautiful scenery. Rolling green hills, pittoresque wine regions and close to the hungarian border flat lowlands and a steppe lake with unique fauna and flora. Some of the planes mentioned in this video are simply overrated tourist traps. Like Hallstatt, which is more like an open air museum than a lived in village.
This is true! I gotta come back and visit more of the eastern region :)
To be honest, being from Austria I can say that there are definitely so many more beautiful places than those mentioned in the video! You have only visited the super touristy spots unfortunately

I'm looking to visit from Manchester UK, what would your recommendations be?
Beautiful lady from Austria. Where do you live there ?
I mean gosau is not really touristy …..
Love Austria from India 🇮🇳🇦🇹 😍😍😍
Simply unparallel! Perhaps God himself painted Austria.
I think there are two Austrias.
The 90% which are smaller towns and mountainous areas, and the Vienna area.
Vienna is worth an entire video in itself, it's an amazing city, I spent a couple years there.
It's a pretty massive capital city and one can feel it was the capital of an Empire not long ago.
Fantastic video. Austria is such a beautiful place. I came back from their last week. Loved it.

I was living in Germany for 4 years, been to Australia twice, quite regret that I missed this country so bad!
I live in Austria , the Area known as Carinthia ( Karnten) has the most sunshine in the country , and some amazing lakes , and the Lesachtal valley is the most natural in the alps , worth a visit
Im interested in Carinthia, has a nice old square, I may pay a visit this September
Hey Ryan, I live in Salzburg and I know all this places but I've never seen such an awesome video like this. Thank you.
This title would be better: Top 10 in the region of Salzburg ;) Though a great video :)
Stefanie Horvath thanks Stefanie! I wish I had more time there. What part of Austria are you from?
@@RyanShirley I'm from lower Austria it's the biggest federal state. Now I am living in Vienna and I really like it. You should visit Vienna, Styria, Carinthia and Tyrol also. In Styria for example you can visit many wineyards, castles, there are soft hills,.. It's famous for its drinks and food, for example Uhudler, pumpkin seed oil, different fruits. I like it! 😊
Most of it was in upper austria 😅😅😅
@@stefanieh.7195 Danke Stefanie, Niederösterreich ist aber auch fantastisch
This is weird;) it should be:) 🙄🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹
I live in Austria and have not had time to travel yet due to my studies. But I definitely want to go this places and see this beauty with my own eyes
What part of Austria are you from?
@@RyanShirley Graz
Absolutely stunning views!! Excellent film thanks for this beauty!🥰
Of course! Where are you from?
Boston, Massachusetts!!
Very cool Austria video with good editing it.. thanks for sharing your video
You should go to Tirol! It is so beautiful
Absolutely!
@@silviadevrede8091 Can you subscribe my channel ?
Dream destination
I agree!
My first visit to Austria was sometime in the mid 90s to attend a military course in Vienna. It was my first visit to an European country, and I have loved this country ever since and haven't had enough of it. Been there 4 times and visited Vienna, Salzburg, Wels and my Austrian friend's birthplace in Wolfsegg. The last time I was there was in 2006 when I brought my wife there for our honeymoon. She too fell in love with the country the minute she stepped onto Austrian soil. Everything was so magical!!! Heaven is a place called Austria! 😍❤😊
I'm a new zealander and I visited Austria a place called Allmau Tirol, it was very pretty but all these places are also very beautiful
marderb3 that’s awesome! I need to go back and see that! Also want to come to NZ soon :)
Austria it was my favorite country for mountains, until i went to Switzerland, but is not too far. Anyway amazing drone footage.
Hi Ryan. My wife and I went up Schafberg the other day and walked around Gosau lake yesterday. Thanks for the recommendations. They were amazing!!! Cheers Peter.
Wow that’s awesome! I think they are some incredible areas, so jealous your in Austria!
I am from Austria😁🇦🇹i love my country, it is really beautiful but honestly said I am missing the sea😞Austria with coasts would be perfect!
Dann solltest du vielleicht nach Norwegen ziehen ;)
@@mgpich ich hätte da eher Spanien im Sinn
@@Yo19724 Aso, da bei den Pyrenäen? Ja kann auch sein, wobei da die Berge schon sehr anders sind. Die Fjorde in Norwegen erinnern mich halt immer a bissi an Ö mit Meer ;)
I am Swiss, living in Austria. Austria is better for most people, special when you have kids. Better means cheaper without to miss something. Most Tourists in Austria are from: (by this oder) Germany (about 40% in total) , Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, UK, Czech Rep, US, France, Belgium.
I was in Austria last year for twice. And I love this country. We also visited Hallstatt and Wolfgangsee and I want work there if I will have luck in next months and no lockdown :)
Wow, you've see some of the most beautiful spots! Hope you can return this summer!
You are a beautiful woman. Where are you from ?
Its more a “Favorite places near Salzburg “
But a nice video 👍👍
I am from Austria, but I have only seen a tiny fraction of it so far, will change that when my son is old enough to hike!
Can’t wait for you too see more of your country :)
Awesome video man! Your choices are really great :) For the next time you come and see Austria you should visit the Faaker See, Bärenschützklamm, Eispalast Hintertux and all the beautiful landscapes in Autumn - you are going to love it! Greetings from Graz :)
Thanks so much friend! I'll have to go back and visit !
I can definitely relate to your love of incredible alpine settings.
You've presented some of my favorite places including the Lofoten Islands. I'm going to have to move beyond my Hallstatt experience and check out your other 9 spots.
Your recs have a 100% awesomeness score so far!
It’s pretty hard to beat the scenery in the alps! Especially in countries like Austria and Switzerland. And gotta love the Lofoten islands :)
Mountains and lakes. I knew it.
Youre right! Beautiful place you have to visit :)
Absolutely correct but you're missing 60% (wonderful towns, rivers and heritages).
Come to Vorarlberg and check out the valleys and snow ;]
Gosau - Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse - Krimmler Wasserfälle - Hallstatt - Wolfgangsee - Schafberg - Zillertaler Alpen - Olperer - Burg Ruine Steinschloss
All great places but still several impressive sites missing...🇦🇹♥️🇦🇹
Yes definitely! I need to go back.
Can you name some beautifull places to stay in the alps in september pls?
@@buxbux4 come to Styria, South east.
Vineyards thermic baths nice people.
Graz Kitzeck Weinstraße
@@reginerunge6379 i would like to spend a week in the alps with a toddler. I check out the place
Wow, man kann auch mit dem Zug nach Hallstatt fahren...
Aus Salzburg dauert die Zugfahrt etwa 2 Stunden. Muss ich mal ausprobieren..
Aso oda so aha😂
As an Austrian, I'd recommend in addition:
Wachau
Südsteiermark
Ausseerland
Wörthersee/Weissensee
Graz
Gmunden/Traunsee
and of course Vienna.
Amazing suggestions ☺️
See is the German word for lake. You don't have to say Wolfgangsee lake. Wolfgangsee is just fine.
I enjoyed the video greetings from Austria. :D
I am from Austria, and one clip in the video is from my hometown
No way! where is your hometown? I love your name btw
@@RyanShirley Once I live in Teuvenbach, it ist the village where you filmed "Stein Schloss". But now I'm in Murau. When you drive back to Vienna you also was there. We have a very nice beer.
Austria is really beautiful.❤ I have been there many times. Greetings from Croatia!
Thank you. But in Croatia is also beautiful. I want to Croatia. Greet from AUSTRIA.😁👍😆
