    The king, a corner of paradise Mirror, mirror on the wall, what’s the most beautiful lake in the country? “The king”, then the answer to many of our visitors….No wonder, of course, because with its crystal clear, emerald waters he spreads an enchanted unique, magical atmosphere.

    Numerous fish cavort in its depth and on the water surface to artistically reflect the rugged cliffs of the great Watzmann and his children.(http://www.koenigssee.com/)

  • the Salt mines:

    Salt was and still is one of the most important raw materials in Austria. This oft-cited “white gold” has not only prompted the names of the city of Salzburg and region of Salzkammergut, it has also strongly influenced nature, and the lives and culture of the inhabitants in the area since the era of the Celts.

    And even today alert visitors may still notice the vestiges of this mineral in many spots in Austria. The Austrian salt company “Salinen Austria” has one of the longest and nearly uninterrupted commercial histories in Europe

  • the beautiful old town
  • the Kehlsteinhaus (also knwon as “Eagles’ Nest”)

… just to point out a few of them.
