View on Millstättersee fom Sappleralm - Austria

Austria is 83.849 km? big with approx. 8,000,000 inhabitants.

Austrian roads.

The most beautiful scenic passes are in my opinion:

1. Gro?glockner Stra?e 2,505 m
2. Silvretta Stra?e 2,032 m
3. Timmelsjoch 2,509 m
4. Flexenpa? 1,784 m
5. Hochtannbergpa? 1,679 m
6. Arlbergpa? 1,802 m
7. Gerlos Pa? 1,486 m

The longest tunnel in Austria is:
The Arlberg tunnel about 14 km long.

The area I love most is K?rnten .
It often has nice weather in summer.
There are a lot of beautiful lakes, like the Millst?tter See, Ossiacher See, W?rthersee and so on. The temperature of the water in summer is in general between 22?C and 26?C.

One thing you most certainly want to do is hiking. This country is great to hike in. There are a lot of marked paths, which are graded in different difficulty levels. Ask at the nearest TIC for more info on the village and area you visit.
