I visited the Austrian Tyrol three times, on consecutive years in the late 1980s, along with my Mother and a group from our area. It is probably the most beautiful country I have been to, although I am hugely fond of England and Wales too.
Austria is such a lovely country, as it has something for everyone, from big cities to small villages. We stayed in a small place called Lermoos, which was very picturesque - a church, ice-cream parlour, few shops, hotels and a small nightclub which could only be called that with a big stretch of imagination ! Nightlife is not something the Tyrol excels in, but then again, you don't go to Austria to go clubbing !
Our hotel was opposite a hill where each morning, we would be woken up by the sound of cow bells, as the farmer led his cows to be milked.
Towering above our hotel were the Zugspitze mountains and we watched them in the evening, as the sun changed position and altered the mountain's colouring through oranges, pinks and greys - a breathtakingly beautiful sight and one which simple words fail to recapture.
We had day trips in the coach to Italy, as it is not far from the Tyrol and we also visited the Austrian city of Innsbruck, which is definitely worth a trip.
The Austrian Tyrol is a wonderful place to go to, it is relaxing and beautiful and the people are friendly too. It helps if you can speak some German too.
