Chiemsee Lake
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea,' look for the Herreninsel and Fraueninsel islands in the middle of the lake.
Berchtesgaden Alps
Stunning views of the Watzmann peak and the jagged alpine border between Germany and Austria.
Dachstein Glacier
The highest peak in Styria, featuring a prominent glacier and vertical limestone walls.
Enns Valley

Styrian Vineyards
