Gedanken auf den Alpen

by Manara - last update: Jun 13, 2009

A view of Bad Gastein
The title of my page is actually the title of a walzer by Johann Strauss, who apparently composed it during a stay in the nice old little town of Bad Gastein (but its full name used to be Wildbad Gastein).

He was just one of the many famous guests who spent some time here, enjoyed the beutiful surroundings but especially took advantage of the thermal waters.

Now many tourist flock here in winter for skiing, but I assure you that also in summer this lovely place has much to offer. The beauty of this valley makes visitors understand why several artists came here for inspration.
I created this page after spending my summer holidays in Bad Gastein in 2004. I have been on holiday here again in July 2007, so I updated my tips and added new information and pictures.

 Great tips and photos of Badgastein and surroundings! When I was in Austria, I did not manage to visit this area due to time constraint so seeing your information has given me a virtual tour :)

 Badgastein looks beautiful in the summer. I have only been there in the wintertime - for skiing. Great page.
