Most beautiful places in Austria

Last weekend I was invited to spend two nights at Suite 17, a beautiful maisonette spread out over two floors connected by an indoor staircase at the G’Schloessl Murtal in Knittelfeld Austria.

On Friday evening I took the train from Vienna to Knittelfeld, a small city in the Austrian countryside about 2 hours away by train from Vienna. It’s a place I have never been to before….

Most beautiful places in Austria

EUGENDORF, AUSTRIA

Eugendorf is a charming village nestled near Salzburg, Austria. With its picturesque surroundings and cozy atmosphere, Eugendorf offers visitors a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Visitors can explore the quaint streets lined with traditional Austrian buildings, sample local cuisine at family-run restaurants, or simply take in the scenic beauty of the surrounding countryside.

SALZBURG, AUSTRIA 

Salzburg, known as the birthplace of Mozart, is a city rich in history and culture. From its stunning baroque architecture to its winding cobblestone streets, Salzburg captivates visitors with its beauty and charm. Explore the iconic Hohensalzburg Fortress, stroll through the Mirabell Gardens, or attend a classical music concert in one of the city’s grand concert halls.

STEIERMARK

Steiermark, also known as Styria, is a region in southeastern Austria renowned for its rolling hills, vineyards, and charming villages. Visitors to Steiermark can indulge in outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, or wine tasting along the South Styrian Wine Road. With its idyllic landscapes and warm hospitality, Steiermark offers a true taste of Austrian countryside living.

HALLSTATT

Hallstatt is a postcard-perfect village nestled on the shores of Lake Hallstatt in the Salzkammergut region of Austria. Famous for its historic salt mines and charming alpine houses, Hallstatt attracts visitors from around the world. Take a leisurely boat ride on the tranquil lake, explore the fascinating Dachstein Ice Cave, or simply wander through the cobblestone streets and soak in the breathtaking scenery.

BAD GASTEIN

Bad Gastein is a picturesque spa town nestled in the Austrian Alps. Renowned for its thermal springs and Belle Époque architecture, Bad Gastein has been a popular destination for relaxation and rejuvenation for centuries. Visitors can unwind in the town’s thermal baths, hike through the surrounding mountains, or simply take in the stunning views from one of the many scenic viewpoints.

HOCHKÖNIG

Hochkönig is a majestic mountain range located in the Austrian Alps. Offering breathtaking vistas and world-class skiing, Hochkönig is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. In the winter, visitors can hit the slopes at one of the region’s ski resorts, while in the summer, the area is perfect for hiking, mountain biking, or simply enjoying the fresh mountain air. With its stunning natural beauty and abundance of outdoor activities, Hochkönig is a must-visit destination for nature lovers.

When I visit a place for the first time, I usually do a lot of sightseeing. However, this time I decided to have a more relaxed program. So, on Saturday I devoted my time to photography and on Sunday to wellness&spa.

If you ever find yourself in that part of Austria, don’t miss the experience of having dinner at Hotel Steirerschlössl and visit the most magical Christmas market which is next to the G’Schloessl Murtal in Knittelfeld.
