More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a comfortable, air-conditioned van as Prague recedes behind you and the Czech countryside unfurls — low hills, farmsteads, and a slow ribbon of highway that leads toward the Alps. Three hours later the Salzach River appears, silver and insistently moving through Salzburg, and you find yourself at Mirabell Gardens where clipped hedges and marble stairs set the stage for the city’s baroque elegance.
