27 October 2021


When the budget or time resources are tight, everyday life can become exhausting and the desire for a holiday all the greater. Austria, as one of the most popular tourist countries, also offers for locals great destinations, thanks to which you can enjoy a real holiday feeling even on day trips.

1. the Green Lake in Styria

Surrounded by beautiful forest and mountain scenery, this place appears mystical and fairytale-like and is not for nothing one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. In the Styrian village of Tragöß you can experience a very special natural spectacle in autumn: Where visitors in spring and summer still marvel at the benches and bridges that have sunk due to meltwater, in the colder months you walk along the bottom of the Green Lake and marvel at the breathtaking mountain panorama. A time-out for body and soul!
