Upper Austria and Vorarlberg Travel Guide

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikivoyage or other free sources online. Upper Austria may not have the in-your-face splendour of the Tyrolean Alps or Vienna's imperial palaces. But it has a taste of all that is great about Austria: the mighty Danube, rich musical heritage, castle-topped medieval towns, resplendent Augustinian abbeys and spas. And the best bit is that nobody really knows it. Vorarlberg is Austria s red hot chilli pepper tiny but feisty. It squeezes in between Switzerland and Germany, and shakes its bootie with that ol devil St Anton am Arlberg in Tyrol. It may have the smallest slice of the country s pie, but it s got the filling sussed: tranquil lakes, thundering rivers, forest-clad hills, snowy crags, castles and more cheese than you ll ever need for your crackers are all squashed into this western wedge. This book offers information on Upper Austria and Vorarlberg states and its most notable places.
