AUSTRIAN ROMANCE ROAD: A TOUR FULL OF CULTURE AND ENJOYMENT BETWEEN SALZBURG AND VIENNA

You drive away from the motorway through three UNESCO World Heritage regions (Salzburg, Hallstatt and Wachau) from Salzburg to Vienna and have the opportunity not only to enjoy Austria's most beautiful landscapes with a wonderful lake and mountain panorama, but also a large number of palaces, castles and monasteries and museums to discover. On the "Path of All Senses" you can indulge not only in cultural enjoyment, but also in particular in culinary enjoyment on this route. In all seasons, numerous traditional festivals, festivals, time-honored monasteries, medieval town centers and the world cultural sites of Hallstatt, Gosau, Salzburg and Mondsee draw their visitors under their spell.
