Hm..must go places.... Do you get to go to Swiss as well? If yes then the whole mountain range is definitely worth shooting. There is this camping site that is flanked by a waterfall and a river..... Interlaken or Lauterbrunen if I'm not mistaken.
In Austria, Vienna or Wien(in local spelling.. again, if I'm not mistaken :sweat: ) is a nice small capital. It's full of pretty parks with statues of famous composer like Mozart and Strauss. Vienna also have 2 Identical great building that now serve as museum. It also has the palace of the old austrian empire across the museums. And like any other city in Europe... beautiful churches..........

Other town would be Salzburg.. it's the place where they shoot "Sounds of Music". It still has the garden and the monastery. It also has a castle high up on a cliff where you could get on top by using a fenicular (some sort of cable car)......

I shall cut off my ramblings... I hope my memory's not playing trick on me :sweat:

Enjoy your trip :thumbsup:

Skylight filter? Helps to tone down the extreme blue you're likely to encounter in the scenery shots.

Enjoy your trip and don't drive tired.

Cheers

Bring a suit for the gentleman and a dress for the ladies. Try and go for a orchestra performance in Vienna. Tickets usually for sale at the tourist counter.

The streets are fairly safe and just try to enjoy yourself!
