This months featured destination is the European country of Austria. Full of eco-friendly activities, Austria is simply one of the best places to check out if you enjoy your trekking, hiking and other sustainable activities. This summer coming is shaping up to be the best time yet to get mean, keen and green in one of Western Europe’s best-loved vacation destinations.DontFlyGo.com recommends starting off a trip in style by heading to Wachau. One of the country’s UNESCO world heritage sites, Wachau and its surrounding areas are home to beautiful medieval architecture, vineyards and lakes. In terms of activities it’s well covered too, with opportunities for cycling, boating and sailing.
Aside from appealing to adrenalin junkies, Wachau has plenty to offer for the slower-paced traveller too. In the city itself there’s the Kunsthaus Graz museum, full of photography, contemporary art and new media. Close, across the wooden bridge, is Voralberger, a province famous for its ‘wood culture’ and delightful mix of architecture.
Of course there’s also plenty to keep foodies happy too. Make sure you check out Viennese escalope, Apfelstrudel (apple pie) and it’s variety of wines and drinks. Round off a trip by checking out the wonderful capital of Vienna too, no doubt alive in the summer with outdoor festivals and concerts.
Plenty to do other than some serious hiking in the Pannonian lowlands!
