Austria More Than
A Winter Destination by Ivaylo Yordanov
 When
I think of Austria, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Austrian
Alps. Maybe just about everyone knows that Austria is one of the best places
to go during the winter. It has countless winter resorts with amazing surroundings,
perfect ski tracks suitable for all ages and difficulties and many more
sport facilities in case you are not into skiing.
For the tired skier or just
for everyone who would like to relax and have fun, there are many suitable
places to do it – from big swimming pools to hot bath-tubs and restaurants
with specialties from around the world. But if you think that Austria is
only for the winter … think again! If you prefer taking a holiday especially
for skiing, you can do so even in the summer with the help of the gorgeous
Austrian glaciers. One of the most famous glaciers is the one in the Stubai
Valley – the Stubai Glacier. It is visible even from the road and can be
a remarkable view even for non-skiers. Other perfect places for skiing
in the summer are the Kaprun Glacier and Pasterze Glacier, which unfortunately
is decreasing in size in the last years. And if you are keen on the big
things than the largest glacier in Austria is for you – the Hintertux glacier.
In Austria there are also
magnificent hiking trails, revealing a huge part of the country’s beauties.
A beautiful place is Zell am See with its "Hohe Tauern" mountain range,
the Zeller Lake and its belonging marked trails, suitable for both beginners
and experts. There is also available biking, sailing and more. I am not
going to give more examples of hiking trails because they are numerous
in almost every resort in Austria and they surely bring the atmosphere
of the amazing nature there. If you are a nature lover I can recommend
here only a small fraction of the many nature reserves in Austria. One
of them is located just north of the city Innsbruck – the Karwendel nature
reserve. The Karwendel mountain range is part of the Alps and can reveal
many breath-taking types of scenery. Another one is the Pürgschachener
Moor Nature Reserve which is in Styria, near Irdning / Ennstal and offers
wonderful moments in fresh air.
One can also visit the National
Park Nockberge – part of the oldest mountain regions in Austria. No matter
where you are from, keep in mind while planning your holiday that nature
is always perfect in every season. And I can assure you that one of the
best places to go and see it is Austria. Whether you like skiing, hiking,
looking from the top of a high mountain or just relaxing under the sun
on the bank of a lake – it is all there just for you.
