About Austria

The Danube runs across the north of the country, from Passau through Linz and Vienna and out towards Bratislava. The rest of the country is very mountainous, especially in the south and west.

Of Austria's numerous lakes, two of them form borders with her neighbours.

In the west, Lake Constance, or Bodensee, is shared with Germany and Switzerland; while Neusiedlersee, south-east of Vienna, adjoins Hungary in the east.

Austria's Bodensee town is Bregenz, in Voralberg, and the region is popular with cyclists in the summer; crossing between Germany and Switzerland.

There's also some cycle activity around the Neusiedlersee - Fertö, in Hungarian. The area makes a great escape from the capital in the summer, and it's also a bird sanctuary.
