  Personal information:
Contrary to what the pictures here suggest, I have visited Austria, as a neighboring country, countless times, at least on 15 different years until 2025.

Austria is always worth a visit, whether along the Danube, in the Wachau region, in Vienna, on Lake Neusiedl, on Lake Wörthersee, etc. In addition to the ski resorts, there are also many wine regions with delicious red and white wines.

I would love to return to Austria!
