VPG-DVD-207 - CARINTHIA Carinthia is Austria's southernmost region and borders both Italy and Slovenia. It is located in the sunny heart of Europe with more than a thousand lakes plus spectacular alpine regions and numerous Celtic Roman excavation sites, medieval castles, monasteries and cathedrals. In the eastern part of Carinthia and more than a thousand metres above sea level is one of the region's oldest historical villages, the mountain village of Diex. In the fifteenth century the Turks invaded the area with great savagery thus, as protection, local farmers built castellated churches in which they sought sanctuary. Friesach, Carinthia's oldest city, has retained what must be the true ambience of the Middle Ages, with a fortified princely estate and churches and monasteries that are surrounded by sturdy walls and a moat. The Maria Saal Open Air Museum is situated in the heart of Carinthia. In this richly cultural and historic area various traditional farm buildings from all over Carinthia have been reconstructed. Klagenfurt is the administrative centre of Carinthia: a middle class garden city that does not contain the fine buildings of the aristocracy but has a good helping of southern flair and, due to the nearby Wörthersee, is a marvellous summer resort. The Grossglockner High Alps road travels through one of the greatest natural landscapes in the world, the Hohe Tauern National Park, a remarkable mountain world in which nature is at its most glorious.

NPM-DVD-121 - Nature Parks HOHE TAUERN AustriaIn the centre of Austria's Eastern Alps is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Europe, the Hohe Tauern National Park that measures eighteen hundred square kilometres and extends across three federal states, Carinthia, Salzburg and East Tyrol. The three thousand metre high Ankogel mountain group makes up the eastern section of the Hohe Tauern where the impressive mountain scenery shows both its wild as well as its romantic side. Numerous walking routes such as the Seebachtal Nature Trail are not only a good way by which to enjoy the scenery but also provide valuable information about the region. A good starting point for various trips into the Grossglockner area is the village of Heiligenblut that has a population of around a thousand and is one of the highest mountain villages in Austria. At the foot of the Hohe Tauern in the Saltzburg section of the Glockner Group, is Kaprun, that, together with Zell am See is a popular tourist centre. At this high altitude the lake is an amazing sight yet it did not originate naturally but was created by Man: the picturesque Mooserboden Reservoir is part of the Glockner-Kaprun Power Station. Sankt Veit is located at an altitude of fifteen hundred metres above sea level and is the highest mountain spa in Austria and features centuries old farm houses and a fine village church. The vast variety and originality of this region highlight the unique value of the Hohe Tauern National Park. Indeed, within this special place in the heart of Europe is one of nature's final sanctuaries.

7DY-DVD-123 - Austria has much to offer: high mountains and alpine pastures in the west, Mediterranean lakes in the south and scenic plains in the east. A land of majestic buildings and of the rural culture and history of past centuries. For more than three hundred years Vienna was the residence of the emperor and the nobility had their fine palaces built in this city that was dominated by Baroque architecture. The Hofburg was the residence of the royal family and the legislative centre of the city, with eighteen wings, nineteen courtyards and more than two and a half thousand rooms.The mighty central cupola of the National Library spans thirty metres high above the most beautiful reading hall in the world and each day white Lipizzaner stallions are trained in the Spanish Riding School. The Wachau covers thirty six kilometres of the Danube Delta with mediaeval old towns, castles and ruins, a Baroque monastery and an ancient vine growing culture. Linz is the capital of Upper Austria and is a dynamic industrial city with an old town that has a long history. It is the third largest city in Austria and is located on both banks of the Danube with several connecting bridges. Salzburg is a city of bishops and of music and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Austria as well as being the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Grossglockner High Alps Road travels through one of the greatest natural landscapes in the world, the Hohe Tauern National Park, a remarkable mountain world in which nature is at its most glorious. Although this former powerful realm of the Habsburger is now a relatively small country, its history, traditions and the diversity of its remarkable landscapes have retained their irresistible allure. Austria will always be the majestic land in the very heart of Europe!
