Austria: Zillertal
Hiking in amid ancient castles and majestic rivers
|
|
This trip is centered out of the Zillertal Valley which is near Innsbruck in the Southern Tyrol . A valley of great beauty surrounded by many mountains over 3300 meters and with the Italian border nearby.
There is spectacular scenery around every corner: vineyards, ancient castles and venerable abbeys overlooking the Danube, wooded hills rising out of lush farmland. Lakes dotted with sailboats and ringed by soaring mountains, alpine peaks and their icy world of glaciers reaching for the sky. The towns are as varied as the countryside around them: historic cities where architectural masterpieces from three or four centuries face one another across narrow lanes or sweeping squares, market towns that have barely changed since the Middle Ages, mountain villages with neat little houses and flowers overflowing from wooden balconies.

| Enjoy life the leisurely way: at pastry shops, in coffee houses, in beer gardens, in wine taverns. Savor the superb Austrian food which makes every meal a pleasure in itself. And relax with the friendly Austrians who genuinely like foreign visitors. Shop for outstanding hand-crafted items or native dresses, jackets and hats. |
