Bad ischl A magnetic attraction at the turn of the last century. “One” drove to “summer holidays”
- and one could recuperate in nearby forests, on traditional alpine meadows or mountain peaks in cool temperatures. Cures for
respiratory, cardiovascular and locomotor apparatus ailments have been successfully used for over 175 years. Between a cure and
a walk one met at Zauner and in the evening one amused oneself at the theatre with a Lehár operetta. Stroll through Ischl and
experience the old traditions just as they formerly were, but now carefully renovated and modernised.

enns The Upper Austrian town sits idyllically on the Enns - Danube estuary. Whether you are in the small alleys
by the river Enns or in the town’s squares, you really won’t feel that you are in the oldest town in Austria. Under the motto “Old
town – new life” the historical past and age-old tradition combine with progress and modern quality of life. Liveliness and love of
life can be felt on every corner. While culture lovers can admire the historic buildings and immerse themselves in the rich history
of Enns, the town’s gastronomes will spoil you with regional specialities in inns, restaurants and wine bars.

between old and new comes from the many options for use and recognising new functions. Tradition goes

with the task - in line with the spirit of the times – of providing an opportunity for cultural understanding
and tolerance.

gmunden Admittedly, it isn’t a large town, but it isn’t a small sleepy village in the mountains either.
The ceramics town of Gmunden is much more. A town with culture and flair, romantic and full of life at the same time. A place of
charm and contrasts, a spot for wild times and quiet moments. Simply fantastic. – That’s the ceramics town of Gmunden.
The lively shopping town with a southern character invites you to wander round, shop or enjoy the culinary offerings of the local
gastronomy. Its unique position on the shores of Lake Traun, surrounded by countless mountains,
calls to you to come and simply unwind.

imst “Mei Imscht” (My Imst) – the title of a poem by Jakob Kopp telling all about the little town in the highlands
of Tyrol. 18 historic fountains with figures of the saints are as easy to find here as Gothic and Baroque churches and town houses,
traditionally evolved customs and a sympathetic population with a sunny attitude to life. Modern Tyrolean way of life in a
historic ambiance, at cafés, pubs and cultivated gastronomy, at the theatre or when shopping. The town today counts among the
most lively district towns in Tyrol.

JUDENBURG The town of Judenburg, the Styrian market town for over 900 years, still glows today
with the Mediterranean charm from the days of the Venetian traders. Tradition and modernity meet at all points in the lovingly
cultivated Old Town. Among delightful town houses is enthroned the stone keeper of the town, the highest free-standing town
tower (75.66m) in Austria. Rustic inns, restaurants, cafés and confectioners know how to indulge their guests. In the evening the
“mature” bar culture in the town centre invites one to a cosy end to the day.

lienz Southwards, to the mountains! The call of the mountains may be irresistible, with the Hohe Tauern and
Dolomites national park being so close. Just a few minutes and you are at the foot of the mountains, where you can hike, climb
and experience them for yourself. Choose between flowery alpine pastures or rugged cliffs, between mossy walks or stony paths.
The feeling of being on one of the countless three thousand metre peaks is phenomenal – safely on the fixed rope route on a
jagged rock face, introspective – looking across green meadows, sociable – over a cold beer in the shelter of a mountain hut –
and all these things will definitely make you feel happy! And when you come back from the mountains, enjoy an Italian way of
life and southern flair with cappuccino under the palm trees, amidst everyday summer life in the town of Lienz

Radstadt The medieval town receives its guests in the heart of the Radstadt Tauern, on the sunny
terrace of the Enns Valley. Lanes, squares, buildings - we find witnesses everywhere of a mature culture. Hospitality and
traditions are cultivated by the local people, and guests are included. Together with traditional festivities, such as the Dumpling
and Guard festivals, classical or modern listening pleasures are also an attraction. Between the town’s powers of attraction
and the tranquillity of surrounding nature, a world of good is done for the soul, for those seeking recuperation and family
holidaymakers.

rust The smallest chartered town in Austria is famous as the “town of the storks and noble wine”. The picturesque
ensemble of lovingly cared for citizens’ houses from the 16th – 19th century is surrounded on one side by the Rust hill-country
vineyards and by Lake Neusiedl on the other. The decoration on the brightly coloured Baroque and Renaissance facades give the
town its unmistakable character. Romantic inns, wine taverns and restaurants indulge the guests. Time - what does it mean?

Der Winzerkönig
The free town of Rust is the location for the ORF and ARD series “Der Winzerkönig” (The
King of the Winemakers) with TV star Harald Krassnitzer, alias Thomas Stickler. He gradually
discovers his love of his native town, the Pannonian landscape and winemaking. We invite
you to stroll on the trail of the king of the winemakers, whether on a town tour, a cellar visit
or in many other ways. You will discover that Rust offers simply everything: Architectonic
gems, unique wines which have received countless awards, numerous small and fine concerts
in a variety of musical styles, friendly festivals, the sports paradise of Lake Neusiedler and the
largest colony of storks in Burgenland.

famous painters and writers were just as unable to resist as newcomers. The Baroque town shows itself today from its most
blossoming side: weekday market, farmers’ market, flea market, attractive shopping, street cafés next to centuries old brewery

WELS
ﱪ
Those who appreciate clear human dimensions, but nevertheless do not wish to relinquish
culture and a beautiful historic ambiance, will quickly feel at home in Wels. Wels is one of the oldest towns
in Austria. A cultural lifestyle has been writ large here for over 2000 years. An especially delightful town, where
life is worth living and the past, present and future merge harmonically together, has come into being.
Among sumptuous citizens’ houses and modern buildings, romantic arcade courtyards and “in pubs”,
as well as rustic new-wine taverns and restaurants, one feels the way in which life pulsates.
The Illyrians and the Celts are the first proven folk groups. From 15 B.C. Extremely delightful excursion destinations await you all around Wels

Albrecht III marked the town’s appearance in the years following. Emperor
Maximilian I died on 12.1.1519 at Wels Castle. At the end of the 16th
century, and the beginning of the Counter Reformation, wealthy citizens
left the town; the Peasant Wars and the Thirty Years’ War caused the
economic demise of Wels. The inner part of the town was converted to the
Baroque style in the 18th century. Building of the horse-drawn railway and
numerous industrial endeavours took place in the first half of the 19th
century. From 1948 Wels enjoyed an upswing and in 1964 the town was
awarded the statute. The historic town square of Wels, with its 64 town
houses, counts among the loveliest enclosed urban squares in Austria.
