All about Austria

Salzwelten and Rudolfsturm Tower -
In fact, you can visit Salzwelten, a salt mine complex outside Hallstatt, by taking a funicular to the mine's entrance. The ride also gets you to Rudolfsturm Tower, where a viewing platform affords an astonishing panorama of the lake below and the surrounding mountains.
Burg Hochosterwitz -
Dramatically perched on a lofty, craggy dolomite rock near the town of Sankt Veit an der Glan, Hochosterwitz Castle is one of Austria's most impressive medieval fortifications. A major tourist attraction, the castle is best reached by vehicle, the steep winding road negotiating no less than 14 defensive gates.
Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse -
The highest surfaced mountain pass road in Austria is the daunting Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse. The route from Bruck, in the Pinzgau, to Heiligenblut, follows the path of an old Roman road. To drive it is to experience one of the most exhilarating highways in Europe.
Klosterneuburg Abbey -
Travel north of Vienna and pay a visit to Klosterneuburg Abbey. Dating back to 1114, the monastery preserves a truly remarkable artifact, the Verdun Altar (pictured). Arguably the finest example of medieval champlevé enamel work found anywhere, the altar's three parts comprise 45 gilded copper panels depicting biblical scenes.
Maria Saal Cathedral -
There are several good reasons for making the effort to explore Maria Saal Cathedral in Austria's Carinthia state. Built on the foundations of a Roman basilica, it was while remodeling during the Renaissance and Baroque periods that the cathedral gave up one of its most compelling secrets: a Roman-era stone relief depicting in fine detail a postal wagon and dated back to 300 CE. During the time of the Roman province Noricum, its capital Virunum stood on and around this spot.
Eisriesenwelt -
Eisriesenwelt translates into English as "World of the Ice Giants." And it's an apt description for the largest system of ice caves in the world. Located in Werfen south of Salzburg, the caves are found on the western edge of the Tennengebirge mountains.
"Entrance to hell" -
The caves were thought to be the entrance to hell, according to Austrian legend. The interior extends 45 km (27 mi) into Tennengebirge's belly and is visited by around 200,000 people every year. Note that Eisriesenwelt is open from May 1 to October 26 every year.
Landeszeughaus -
Allow a couple of days to absorb the city's wealth of visitor attractions, places like the Landeszeughaus, the Styrian armory. This is the world's largest historic arsenal holding approximately 32,000 pieces of weaponry, tools, and suits of armor—for men and horses.
Incredible photos! Looks like a fairytale scenery. Started to check some flight tickets even and rental cars.
