About Austria
For centuries Austria was the centre of the Habsburg empire, and Vienna, its capital, was home to composers such as Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert; the emperors spent their summers at Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg, where Mozart was born, lies below the fortress of Hohensalzburg, and the painted houses of Innsbruck line the Inn River beneath the Nordkette mountains.
The Alps cover about two thirds of the country. The Grossglockner High Alpine Road climbs towards Austria's highest peak, the Dachstein is reflected in the Gosausee, and in Hallstatt salt has been mined in the mountain for some 7,000 years. Along the Danube, the Wachau valley is known for its terraced vineyards and old wine towns such as Dürnstein.
