6 European mountain tops which offer the best views ever

For adrenaline junkies – via ferrata trails in Austrian Alps

I’m really happy we’ve got Alps in Europe. I like those mountains a lot. And I’m proud of Europeans that they came up with building via ferrata. Or maybe not? Well, to be honest, the very first idea of those trails wasn’t very estimable – via ferratas were built during WW1 in Dolomites for soldiers to make their march easier. Now, fortunately, these trails serve only for tourist reasons. Via ...

Good to know before visiting Austria

There are no laid-back mountain huts - there are literally mountain restaurant with waiters taking the orders.

When you get to your place ask ...

We divided our summer 2015 holidays in Austria into 2 phases: Saalfelden - one week with our friends, mainly hiking. Saalbach - 5 days, only two of us, biking. In the summer, Saalfelden's a great starting point for hiking. There are many interesting trails - shorther and longer, easier and more difficult. What's more, there are many via ferrata's nearby Saalfelden. We stayed at Wiesingbauer - organic farm which offers its own produce. Rooms were ...
