AUSTRIA'S MAGNIFICENT LAKE DISTRICT
- A PLACE TO VISIT -
G'day folks,
Europe is decorated with so many splendid places that chances are you haven't heard of many of them, let alone seen them all.
Let's take a longing gaze at Austria, because it's one of the
countries with the most spectacular of natural wonders, coupled with hundreds

that of Salzkammergut, the glorious Lake District.
Austria has so many wonderful regions full of incredible natural beauty. But

it has become a popular destination for local and foreign tourists keen to
enjoy the lovely lakes, lush greenery, giant mountains and charming local
culture.
What makes it such a good tourist destination is the surprisingly easy access
from cities located in the Salzkammergut to the natural wonder of the lakes. This
region was originally mined for salt way back in Roman times, before local
Germanic tribes known as the Bavarii and Otakari began to dominate. These
ancient salt mines are now thought of as relics of former days now that tourism
has taken over and transformed Salzkammergut's economy.
