Lake Constance – Germany/Switzerland/Austria

Lake Constance is situated where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet. Its shorelines lie in the German states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, the Swiss cantons of St. Gallen, Thurgau, and Schaffhausen, and the Austrian state of Vorarlberg. The Rhine flows into the lake from the south, with its original course forming the Austro-Swiss border, and has its outflow on the Lower Lake where it forms the German-Swiss border up to the city of Basel.

Salzburg – Austria

Salzburg is the capital city of the State of Salzburg and fourth-largest city in Austria.
The town is located on the site of the former Roman settlement of Iuvavum. Its main sources of income were salt extraction and trade and, at times, gold mining. The fortress of Hohensalzburg, one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe, dates from the 11th century. Salzburg’s historic centre is renowned for its Baroque architecture and is one of the best-preserved city centers north of the Alps. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.

Tyrolean Alps – Austria

The Tyrollean Alps are one of the most beautiful sections of mountains in the world, coming from the east coast of the United States I had never seen “real” mountains before. To say that I was awe inspired would be an understatement. We took a trip to the Tirol with my parents, my sister and brother-in-law and their kids in 1985. Sitting on the terrace of a country restaurant eating venison and overlooking the mountains is a memory indelibly etched into my consciousness. The Tyrol or Tirol is a region of the eastern Alps in western Austria and northern Italy. Inhabited in ancient times by Celtic peoples, the Tyrol constantly passed back and forth, in whole or in part, between Austria and Italy in the 1800s. Its present division dates from the Treaty of St. Germain in 1919. The hub of the Austrian Tyrol is the City of Innsbruck also included is the ski village of Kitzbuhel.
