Gentle Giant - Otter's Paradise in Capercaillie County
Compared to its fellow summits in the Alps, the Oetscher is not very high: in fact less than 2,000 meters. But among the gentle slopes of western Lower Austria it really is a giant, with shoulders broad enough to bear the last of the Alps' virgin forests, the country's coldest plateau where temperatures fall to -50, the oldest trees in all of Austria and her very own Grand Canyon, the Tormauer.
Magic Mountains - Land of the Chamois
Schladming in Austria is not the best known of the country's ski regions but it's one of the finest - because it keeps a low profile and makes sure the season doesn't dominate the landscape. That also means its nature is better protected than in normal mixed regions. Though this region is controlled by men, it is a hot spot for wild animals.
Secrets of the Flooded Forest - Danube National Park
After beginning in Vienna, the Danube riverbank forests extend to the gates of Bratislava, linking the two capitals like a green ribbon, forming a unique wildlife habitat in the heart of Europe. A few years ago a 36 kilometer section was turned into a national park that now protects the last undeveloped stretch of the Danube Riverand also the last riparian zone of its size in Central Europe.
