Top 10 Nature & Parks in Austria, Austria

August 21, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

As home to majestic mountains, opulent palaces, and high culture, Austria's attractions are classically sumptuous and enduring. But beyond the waltzes, the strudels, the alpine summits, and Habsburg architecture, its modern cities are proof of just how easily Austria combines the contemporary with the historic.

Grossglockner

Austria's highest mountain and centrepiece of the High Tauern National Park You can approach the Grossglockner in many different ways: it is the highest mountain of the Alpine Republic, one of the most striking elevations in the Eastern Alps and the summit of passion for many a mountaineer. The mountain is also home to people, numerous animals and rare plants. The Glockner is cloaked in secrecy, is the stuff of legend and has great attractive power. It is an obstacle on the path from north to south, yet a place where it has been overcome through the millennia. Join us and get to know his majesty, the Grossglockner, in his numerous aspects!

We made a boat trip from Gmunden to Traunkirchen and could admire this unique place during hours. The Traunstein is impressive and the (after COVID-lockdown) very quiet lake was highly appreciated.

St. Anton

One of the more popular ski resorts in the Tirols.

Reviewed By steadsy - Blyth, United Kingdom

.....but does the person who does the colour grading of pistes have colour-blindness. Most blue runs in the main area have very steep red bits (esp. pistes 50 and 100), reds are very steep and yet some of the blacks are easily do-able. The snow was excellent when we were there so we ventured over to Lech/Zurs via Stuben and the Trittkopf gondolas with very steep top end. The very steep red piste 144, in Zurs, is brilliant and a must if you like a challenge with a long, shallow 1km schuss at the bottom.

Untersberg

Reviewed By S8424YSmarkc - Cambridge, United Kingdom

Great way to spend a few hours of a trip to Salzburg. Particularly at this time of year when there's plenty of snow at the top (but none in town). On a clear day, such as we had, the views were great and it's really nice in the sunny weather. Cable car up is pricey (EUR25 return), but it is free with a Salzburg Card (one of its many many benefits). Easy to reach from the town centre by bus. One of the bus routes (route 25) also goes via Hellbrunn and Salzburg Zoo, so it is very easy to combine all 3 into an excellent day trip (as we did).

Schloss Eggenberg

The unique architecture of Schloss Eggenberg, the most important great house in Styria, is a complex symbolic representation of the universe. At the same time, with its impressive combination of Baroque interiors (magnificent state rooms), magical gardens and park, and priceless collections of the Universalmuseum Joanneum (Alte Galerie with its old masters paintings, Archaeology Museum and Coin Cabinet), Eggenberg contains a fascinatingly varied panorama of Styrian culture over the centuries. UNESCO World Heritage Site! Please note: dogs are not allowed in the park to protect our peacocks.
