Did you know that Austria is the highest country in Europe? 40% of the territory is above 1000 meters in altitude ⛰, with its peak at the summit of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grossglockner" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Grossglockner</a> in the famous Tyrol region (3797 meters). Needless to say, hiking enthusiasts🚶🏻‍♂ are well-acquainted with this country. They most certainly take the time to enjoy the delights of the capital city, <a href="kavval://cities/6c1dc80a-0a85-4991-b443-00f27b43c676" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vienna</a>, a cultural hotspot. The Viennese waltzes can inspire more than just your New Year's Eve, we promise! Austria, the homeland of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Schubert" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Schubert</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mozart</a>, offers a great opportunity to dive into or further explore classical music... Graz, the "garden city" located in the south, is renowned for its parks, while Linz in the northwest, near <a href="kavval://countries/88499f9e-b753-44b7-9b26-8baad00b18e8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Germany</a> and the <a href="kavval://countries/ac976c20-4609-4c94-aa83-25959ab31a6e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Czech Republic</a>, is bisected by one of Europe's largest rivers, the Danube. The country's third-largest city even inspired its own Mozart composition 🎵, the " <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThY-JK10nrc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Linz Symphony</a>"... Like Vienna, Linz is a fantastic place to visit. Numerous cultural events take place here, such as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ars_Electronica" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ars Electronica Festival</a>, which has celebrated the intersection of art and technology since 1979. Culture and sports, a perfect blend in Austria! The country is home to many top athletes, particularly in skiing ⛷. Countless medals and titles have been won by legends like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annemarie_Moser-Pr%C3%B6ll" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Annemarie Moser-Pröll</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Maier" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hermann Maier</a>, and more...Check out the race calendar in &nbsp;Austria.&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trail running</a>,&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/5b49242e-6288-4e30-8649-74eb1ab8563f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">walking</a>,&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/baaef010-e9a4-4bab-9564-803d2d9d4f29" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">half marathon</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/390ac20f-6103-4b2e-930e-b570ed852fb1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">marathon</a>, what do you fancy in this green and lush country?

Austria

Austria might not have a <a href="kavval://tags/seaside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">coastline</a>, but it more than makes up for it with its <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a>! The <a href="kavval://places/4b4ff98f-072f-413a-9bfe-fd7f26f8052a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alps</a> cover two-thirds of this small country... No wonder it produces so many ski champions.
