Romantic lakes and mountains in Austria

  • 16 years ago
About two thirds of this country is dominated by the Alps and during the last ice-age, mighty glaciers covered essentially all of what is Austria today. When they melted away to some very few areas in high altitudes in high altitudes (where they still support an all-year-round skiing industry), the glaciers left a landscape shaped under their weight. Smooth hills, rubble and many lakes.
