We travelled to Austria in our Renault Trafic based Holdsworth HTL Super hightop
campervan in August 1998. We entered Austria at Bregenz on Bodensee and
travelled through the Tirol and crossed the Alps through the Felbertauern
tunnel to Carinthia and the southern lakes.

Austria has beautiful mountain scenery and good roads.
For an excellent all round view drive up the road to Gerlitzen near Ossiachersee in
Carinthia. The toll road to the very top becomes a rough track and is a very
long descent (our brakes overheated!). There is a easier road up from the
lakeside to the hotel and car-park near the top.

| Bregenz is a city with a large auditorium on the edge
of the lake where a huge set is built over the water for operatic
productions during the arts festival each August. The year we were
there it was Porgy and Bess

| The
Rosenberger chain of motorway services restaurants are an eye-opener
compared to UK establishments offering an excellent range of buffet style
snacks and hot meals.
