Austria extends well beyond Vienna and Salzburg. Away from major tourist routes lie natural monuments and historical sites that reveal the country's geological and cultural heritage. From the Eisriesenwelt ice caves near Werfen to medieval castles such as Hochosterwitz in Carinthia, this collection documents the diversity of Austrian regions. The selection includes alpine lakes like Plansee near Reutte and Altausseer See, historical railways in the Waldviertel, gorges such as Garnitzen Klamm, and mountain roads like the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Libraries such as the one at Admont Abbey, waterfalls at Krimml and Gastein, and memorial sites like Mauthausen are among the documented locations. These destinations reveal Austria's geographical range and make a visit worthwhile.
