From Wikipedia: Austria (German: Österreich, literally "the Eastern Realm" or "Eastern Empire") is a landlocked alpine German-speaking country in Central Europe bordering Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west, Germany and the Czech Republic to the north, Slovakia and Hungary to the east and Slovenia and Italy to the south. Austria, along with neighboring Switzerland, is the winter sports center of Europe. However, it is just as popular for summer tourists who visit its historic cities and villages and hike in the magnificent scenery of the Alps.

Note to self
Hallstatt in Austria is something out of a dream but it gets overwhelmed (ruined?) by day trippers. Don't do that. Stay the night and explore the neighbouring mountains and give this beautiful place the time it deserves. Someday we will go on more wonderful hikes in Austria into alpine forests.
