And what of the beautiful lakes such as the Lake District near Salzburg, the lakes in Carinthia, Lake Constance and the many lakes that Tyrol has to offer as the Piburger See, the Achensee and the Walchsee. Sometimes it seems around the lakes like you’re on the Mediterranean. Deliciously warm, abundant sunshine, nice splashing in the water, and further the cosmopolitan character.
But perhaps the popularity comes from the big hospitality and willingness to give visitors the time of their lives.
Therein namely Austrians are the absolute world champions. The hospitality is renowned all over the world, and there are even people that specifically travel here because of this, to spend the holidays.
The great popularity is not so strange, especially since the Austrians like to read every need of your lips, where no desire is to weird, and no request is impossible to achieve, and therefore offer you the first holiday, in which there was nothing to wish for left.

The typical food
Culinary delights, or typical local cuisine.
Besides all this beauty, that typical culture, and all the historical treasures, Austria has something unique to offer, the kitchen.
Varied, from outstanding culinary experiences, to the typical local cuisine, which sometimes is known far beyond the country’s borders, and which have made some regions world famous.
Examples are the Wiener Schnitzel and the delicious dessert Kaiserschmarren. A kind of broken pancakes with plum compote, which according to tradition was specially made for Emperor Franz Joseph during a hunt.
Thus the name, and arguably the favorite dessert of Empress Elisabeth, known as Sissi.
