Austria is famous for its natural splendour. Towering peaks overlook crystal lakes and thick green forests. The world’s toughest downhill skiing race, Hahnenkammrennen, is organised in Kitzbühel, Austria, every year. Austria is a country with a revolutionary history. From the time when Charlemagne founded his territory and christened lost Vandals, Huns and Romans, to the huge kingdom and power of the Hansberger’s that lasted until the First World War. Today’s modern republic has matured slowly to become one of the favorite countries for the tourists of the world.
