Tucked in between Lake Constance and Lake Neusiedler, Austria is revealed as a land of fascinating and spectacular natural beauty in this travel companion. Majestic peaks, deep valleys, crystal-clear lakes, and lush green meadows are captured in detail, and the River Danube is explored, flanked by flat, open plateaux while ancient churches and monasteries and mighty castles and palaces dot the countryside in "Styrian Tuscany" and the Burgenland. Celebrating the Festspiele in Salzburg and illustrating the splendid Jugendstil and Hundertwasser buildings in Vienna, this enchanting guide effuses the region's typical charm and decidedly cosmopolitan flair.
