Summer in Austria is a great time for outdoor activities from hiking in the mountains to paragliding or cycling and horse riding. The wildflowers blooming in the rolling green hills make it a very popular time to explore the mountains or you could hire a car and drive up to one of the Alpine lakes such as Lake Lünersee to do some fishing or swimming. Visit Grossglockner National Park, home to the highest mountain in Austria for some spectacular hiking trails.
