The sound of cowbells, a meadow full of swaying cotton grass and the view of a mountain lake with rippling water:
This is what it looks like, the perfect alpine summer in Salzburg's Lungau.
Salzburg's Lungau, a good 100 kilometers from Mozart's city of Salzburg, is not only the sunniest region in Austria,
but was also awarded the “UNESCO Biosphere Park Salzburg Lungau & Carinthian Nockberge” for the magnificent natural landscape.
