Never before have we had so much news to tell you about, which not only delights us, but also makes us want to go on holiday in Austria. Numerous new hotels, chalets and apartments have been built across the country. Guests can sleep under the stars of the Biosphere Reserve Großes Walsertal in the mobile Dream.Alive-Lodge, a glass-enclosed hotel room. Existing establishments are investing in conversions and extensions with great attention to detail, such as Hotel Salzburger Hof in Leogang. The building has been extended and now includes a 1,200 m² panoramic wellness area with a 20.5 m long outdoor infinity pool. The new (long-distance) hiking trails are sure to be popular amongst those who can’t wait to get active outdoors this summer. Ambitious hikers can opt for the Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail, for example, which will be offering stunning views of Austria’s highest mountains from mid-May. Quite fittingly, Hohe Tauern National Park is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. And there are new options for cyclists too. Some of the SalzburgerLand regions have picked up on the gravel biking trend and are offering tours. In the Kitzbüheler Alpen, the KAT Bike trail is being updated. There are also nature and animal experiences to look forward to.

It played an important role in the internal conflicts of France and for most of its history was used as a state prison by the kings of France. It was stormed by a crowd on 14 July 1789 in the French Revolution, becoming an important symbol for the French Republican movement, and was later demolished and replaced by the Place de la Bastille. Fertile Crescent (13) The Fertile Crescent is a crescent-shaped region containing the comparatively moist and fertile land of otherwise arid and semi-arid Western Asia, and the Nile Valley and Nile Delta of northeast Africa. University of Chicago archaeologist James Henry Breasted popularized the term. Having originated in the study of ancient history, the concept soon developed and today retains meanings in international geopolitics and diplomatic relations. Los Alamos (39) Los Alamos National Laboratory (or LANL; previously known at various times as Project Y, Los Alamos Laboratory, and Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory) is one of two laboratories in the United States where classified work towards the design of nuclear weapons is undertaken. The other, since 1952, is Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

  • Vienna Is a Standard of Living Download
    Vienna – Enjoy Quality Of Life Life is good in Vienna. What the Viennese have long known to be true has also been officially confirmed several times: In 2019, the Mercer Study voted Vienna the world's most livable city for the tenth year in a row. Vienna also took first place for the second time in the 2019 “Smart City Strategy Index” of the analyst Roland Berger. The reason for this outstanding quality of life? Vienna has more green space than virtually any other. It is a place where you can relax – there are even parks in the heart of the city – or enjoy sport. And the green offering is constantly being expanded: Since 2010, 204 parks have been remodeled or created from new – that’s equivalent to one new park for Vienna every 18 days 1. The Austrian capital also has excellent infrastructure and is one of the safest major cities on earth. Form decorative flowerbeds to unspoiled nature – there is plenty to discover in green Vienna. It comes as no surprise that the Vienna Woods on the city’s western fringes are referred to as the lungs of the city. This 1,350 square kilometer UNESCO biosphere reserve provides a unique habitat for countless plant and animal species. When taking a stroll in the Lainz Game Reserve you shouldn‘t be surprised if a wild boar crosses your path. The Lainz Game Reserve is also home to the largest number of different bat species in Europe. 2 Vienna is, after all, a habitat for people and animals: 456 species of wild bee 3 make Vienna Europe’s bee capital.
