Millennia of evolution surrounded by the elements have naturally calibrated us to feel at home with nature. Spending time in nature allows us to find levity and new perspectives effortlessly. Forests, meadows, lakes, and rolling hills have a magical effect on our souls. It proves that in today's world which is full of appointments, our daily digital overdose may intervene, but our 'green' imprint will remain forever. From the healing effect of waterfalls and trees to the beauty of cultural landscapes, mountains, and waters, Austria is filled with natural gems - alive, sensual, and relaxing all at once.
"When it comes to the environment," says Alfred Strigl, deputy director of the Austrian Institute for Sustainability, "Austrians are top of Europe and top of the world." Being green, he explains, has always come naturally to his countrymen. "We are the pioneers of Europe. We have a broad traditional knowledge of natural topics that comes from a conservative way of life - the farmers, hunters and forest men - that has been handed down from generation to generation. We know how to read the landscapes. We know about the cycle of life, to listen to the wind and to pay attention to the seasons and the way the herbs grow, the birds, the mushrooms and so on."
