Camping in Austria
Camping in Austria is an excellent choice if you’re looking for high quality campsites and wonderful scenery. Austria is primarily known for two contrasting attractions: the capital Vienna with its fading Imperial glories, and the variety of its Alpine hinterland. It is an ideal place to visit year round, whether you want to admire the spectacular scenery and participate in winter sports or to visit historical sites and cultural attractions.
Perhaps the best-known area and the most easily accessible part of the country is the Tirol in the west. A charming region with picturesque valleys to explore, you'll be able to enjoy folklore entertainment year round. Situated in the centre is the Lake District and Salzburg. With its ancient castles, curative spas and salt mines to visit, Salzburg also has plenty of music, art and drama festivals to enjoy. Vienna, too, offers plenty of cultural pursuits with its museums, opera and famous choirs. The neighbouring provinces of Lower Austria, Burgenland and Styria, land of vineyards, mountains and farmland, are off the tourist routes, but provide good walking territory. Further south, in the Carinthia region, lakes and mountains dominate the landscape. The beautiful scenery and rural way of life offers a quieter retreat. There are a few large towns to explore, lots of pleasant villages and good, often uncrowded roads.
