Salzburg

Austria, along with neighboring Switzerland, is the winter sports center of Europe. However, it is just as popular for summer tourists who visit its historic cities and villages and hike in the magnificent scenery of the Alps. Austria has a big number of lakes. Normally they are very clean, so you can swim in them; they provide camping places nearby. In winter you can use them for ice skating. In some places, you will have to pay to get on the lakeside. Beside all that rustic, tranquil nature and countryside, Austria has a whole other side too. As one of Europe's former great powers, Austria boasts a wealth of majestic architecture and historic structures. As it was long a centre of power in the Holy Roman Empire, you'll find not only palaces and magnificent city architecture but also grand cathedrals, monasteries and churches.

The nature is also really beautiful around the area. Krimml, Europe's Highest Waterfalls, the water of the Ache river falls in 3 cascades.

The "Salzburger Filmkulturzentrum - THE KINO" was founded in 1978 on the model of the first so-called "communal cinema", which was initiated in 1971 by Hilmar Hoffmann in Frankfurt / Main and today houses the "Deutsches Filmmuseum". The main concern was and is to give film as an influential medium of the 20th century a place of its own.
