Lakes and Nature in Austria

Every year from 2014 to 2018, the Austrian public picked the country’s most beautiful spots in a live telecast. How about visiting one of these magical places?

Austria's six national parks offer visitors the chance to discover nature in its original, untouched state and to come face to face with scenic beauty.
