Österreich / Austria

by globetrott - last update: Dec 4, 2003

Duernstein / Dürnstein is the most famous town in the Wachau ( the Danubevalley between Krems and Melk )
.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Austria is part of the EU since 1995
and is one of the "Schengen-countries"
and has the EURO (the best idea of EU in my opinion...)

All cars and motorbikes using austria's HIGHWAY = "Autobahn", have to buy a so called "AUTOBAHN-VIGNETTE" and fix it on the windscreen of their car, B E F O R E they enter the highway.
You could buy it at most petrol stations, newspapershops and also at most highway-border-stations.
Enns - one of the oldest towns in Austria - with a baroque main square and the belltower
Stadt Haag - with its open air museum of old farmhouses.
.
This is an easy stop-over, when You drive on the highway from Linz to Vienna - just 2 km off the highway...

A great link I recently found for tourists coming to Austria
