7 Bad ischl A magnetic attraction at the turn of the last century. “One” drove to “summer holidays” - and one could recuperate in nearby forests, on traditional alpine meadows or mountain peaks in cool temperatures. Cures for respiratory, cardiovascular and locomotor apparatus ailments have been successfully used for over 175 years. Between a cure and a walk one met at Zauner and in the evening one amused oneself at the theatre with a Lehár operetta. Stroll through Ischl and experience the old traditions just as they formerly were, but now carefully renovated and modernised.

21 JUDENBURG The town of Judenburg, the Styrian market town for over 900 years, still glows today with the Mediterranean charm from the days of the Venetian traders. Tradition and modernity meet at all points in the lovingly cultivated Old Town. Among delightful town houses is enthroned the stone keeper of the town, the highest free-standing town tower (75.66m) in Austria. Rustic inns, restaurants, cafés and confectioners know how to indulge their guests. In the evening the “mature” bar culture in the town centre invites one to a cosy end to the day.

25 lienz Southwards, to the mountains! The call of the mountains may be irresistible, with the Hohe Tauern and Dolomites national park being so close. Just a few minutes and you are at the foot of the mountains, where you can hike, climb and experience them for yourself. Choose between flowery alpine pastures or rugged cliffs, between mossy walks or stony paths. The feeling of being on one of the countless three thousand metre peaks is phenomenal – safely on the fixed rope route on a jagged rock face, introspective – looking across green meadows, sociable – over a cold beer in the shelter of a mountain hut – and all these things will definitely make you feel happy! And when you come back from the mountains, enjoy an Italian way of life and southern flair with cappuccino under the palm trees, amidst everyday summer life in the town of Lienz

27 Radstadt The medieval town receives its guests in the heart of the Radstadt Tauern, on the sunny terrace of the Enns Valley. Lanes, squares, buildings - we find witnesses everywhere of a mature culture. Hospitality and traditions are cultivated by the local people, and guests are included. Together with traditional festivities, such as the Dumpling and Guard festivals, classical or modern listening pleasures are also an attraction. Between the town’s powers of attraction and the tranquillity of surrounding nature, a world of good is done for the soul, for those seeking recuperation and family holidaymakers.

31 Schärding The enchantment of old portals and Baroque gables, quiet corners and lanes, the mighty and wide River Inn, meadows, fields and wooded green hills of the Sau Forest: a mature, unmistakeable atmosphere, which famous painters and writers were just as unable to resist as newcomers. The Baroque town shows itself today from its most blossoming side: weekday market, farmers’ market, flea market, attractive shopping, street cafés next to centuries old brewery inns – a melange with Guglhupf, country beer with liver cheese and an Emperor’s bread roll. A special atmosphere – irrespective of the season.
