At this section you can get some general information about regions in Austria, as well as information about recommended accommodations, maps & guides etc.
Because the main idea behind this website is to tell you about our travels and not to be a "wiki"-site, we have chosen to keep this section as minimal as possible by only handing out a collection of links to sites that can help out in a far better way by providing a lot more of (detailed) information.

In most regions in Austria you can purchase an All-Inclusive-Card which gives you free (or reduced) admissions to many sights and attractions throughout that particular region. With this card you really can save money!

There are a lot of excellent maps about Austria available on the market. Those maps are available at the local stores and tourist offices.
The maps we use are from Freytag & Berndt (F&B). These maps, scale 1:50.000, have detailed geographic information (mountain names, heights, contour lines etc.) as well as detailed information about the roads, paths (marked and unmarked), climbs, alpine huts etc.
There are also good maps (also 1:50.000) from Kompass. They have an extra guide with information about the region (villages, valleys, culture etc.) and short tour descriptions.

Here you can find an extended set of links to sites related to Ost-Tirol (part of the state Tirol).
Ost-Tirol is the smallest state of Austria. Do not confuse it with Tirol, because that is another part of Austria! Lienz is the capitol city of Ost-Tirol and by far the biggest city of Ost-Tirol.
Famous valleys are the Prägratental, Defereggental, Pustertal, Gailtal and Lesachtal. In the north there is the Alpen mainridge with the famous Gross Venediger and Gross Glockner (Austria's highest summit). On the west and south Ost-Tirol connects to Italy and on the east to Kärnten.

Here you can find an extended set of links to sites related to the state Salzburgerland.
As you see in the pictures above, Salzburgerland is divided into several area's. In the north you have the beautiful city Salzburg, below the Tennengebirge (Tennegau). At the bottem part you'll notice the Pinzgau, Pongau and Lungau region. Click on the map to see a larger map with more detail.
