Cities of Austria: Bad Ishl
Historical Center Salzkammerguta – Resort City Bad Ishl (Bad Ischl).
Founded in the days of the Celts, he received particularly fame thanks to the Emperor French Joseph, held here every summer and actually turning the city in the summer capital of the Empire. It’s somewhat strange, especially if you consider that it lies at some distance from the famous Lakes Salzkammergut, and in itself, especially at first glance, not especially beautiful. However, the emperor was a man of simple tastes and the main reason for his love for Bad Ishly was probably therapeutic properties of local saline waters and a special silence of this place. Now nobody can call the city – it is crowded with tourists even more than some of the beautiful villages on the lakes, and around his aristocratic mansions of the XIX century constantly noisy excursions.

Reviews and studies of trips
21 day in Austria
For three weeks, Austria fascinated us, and did not want to leave. Beautiful nature, cozy cities and villages, pleasant people who are ready to come to the rescue at any time. Perhaps for the first time we decided to violate our rule and come back here again. The benefit of interesting places is not enough for one trip! Read more →

Automotive journey through the lake edge Salzkammergut
We lived not in Salzburg, but in the suburban town Sant Wolfgang. Thanks to the tour operator for this invaluable advice. We lived in a stunning location on the shore of a mountain lake with a huge trout near the shore, blue mountains with snow-white vertices, at the Zum Wassen Hirshen (white deer). Read more →
