Visit Austria TRAVEL MAGAZINE · AUSTRIA www.austria.info Dear reader, Our age is characterised by technological developments and social change. The increasing pressure to perform, the rigid dictates of our schedules and other stress factors trigger an unconscious feeling of helplessness in many of us. In Austria‘s richly-varied areas where nature and culture thrive, we can succeed in transforming that sense of estrangement through the natural rhythm of the landscape and through our own rhythm of life, and rediscover our own pace of being. On your travels, allow yourself time for these encounters. And, not least, for meeting up with yourself again.
