Austria
A piece of heaven that has fallen on earth. Turquoise lakes sparkling like jewels amidst fields of green pastures, vast valleys embraced by snowy peaks and clear blue skies, miles and miles of fresh pine forests and wild flowers, crystal clear streams which meander through verdant pastures. Beautiful alpine cottages with the scent of fresh pine wood, an expression of alpine architecture, so simple, quiet and soothing, one has found one’s home. The exuberance and joy of Tyrolean folk culture in Austria, and the high-level of civic consciousness throughout Switzerland. A few days in the Alpine countryside and one feels truly restored.
