Running in Austria

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 Grossglockner 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, Vienna, a cultural hotspot. The Viennese waltzes can inspire more than just your New Year's Eve, we promise! Austria, the homeland of Schubert and Mozart, 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 Germany and the Czech Republic, is bisected by one of Europe's largest rivers, the Danube. The country's third-largest city even inspired its own Mozart composition 🎵, the " Linz Symphony"... Like Vienna, Linz is a fantastic place to visit. Numerous cultural events take place here, such as the Ars Electronica Festival, 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 Annemarie Moser-Pröll, Hermann Maier, and more...
