I want to visit somewhere in Austria with mountains, lakes and/or glaciers. I already have a rough idea which cities I want to visit, but I want to see more natural sights too. Is there a particular place in Austria that could meet my needs? I'm looking for somewhere I could stay for 4-6 days.

Hi!
Do you want to spend the whole time at the same place? Do you have some preferences (Lake, mountain, etc...)?
- Salzkammergut (Bad Aussee, Bad Ischl, Hallstatt, Bad Goisern,...); small lakes surrounded by alpine landscape; easily accessible by train (from Attnang-Puchheim on the Wien - Salzburg line as well as from Stainach-Irdning on the Graz - Salzburg line
- Gesäuse (between Admont and Kleinreifling); spectacular gorge along the river Enns, sparse rail connection - only one train per direction at weekends, no service during the week. If you have time you could go Wien - Gesäuse - Salzkammergut during one day (and stay somewhere at Salzkammergut)
-Neusiedlersee; large lake in the eastern part of Austria, close to Wien with good rail connection; national park

Hey, thanks for the reply. Yes, Ideally stay in the same place for 4-6 days, but I'm not ruling out the possibility of going to a few different spots in that time.
