Living in the Alps, Austria - Part 1 Snowy Alpine Country, Hohe Tauern The Hohe Tauern Mountains in Salzburg, Austria's first national park, is now a snowy alpine country. It's beautiful, but it's also brutally cold. People lived in this seemingly uninhabitable alpine land. How do people in the Austrian Alps survive the winter? The lake village created by the melting Alpine glaciers of Hohe Tauern, Zell am See. The more snow falls, the more special the spectacle becomes, so we go there. On the way, the snowy road is paralyzed by sudden heavy snowfall. We park the car on the side of the road and slowly walk through the heavy snow... As we walk through the snow-covered road that reaches our knees, we come across the 'Zel am See village' that spreads out like a picture below the mountain. We meet a villager who says that he has a 'very special mission' as the snowfall falls heavily... We follow them in a car and drive through the snowy fields in the mountains. The villager's driving skills in the snowy road are almost miraculous, and when we arrive at the place where we drive through the snowy road, we meet dozens of wild animals that have just jumped out of the mountain... They came driving through the snowy road in the middle of winter to help the starving wild animals. There were pure Alpine people living beautifully in coexistence with wild animals. The Hohe Tauern mountain seen from Zell am See village was spectacular. The snow-covered Alps panorama seen from the Kitz Tauern peak is even more magnificent... The huge Alps peaks are connected by a precarious suspension bridge, and at the Krimml village at the entrance of the Hohe Tauern mountain, which we arrived at after passing the Zell am See village, we meet people who decorate the Alps winter night with candles and spend a romantic night. #WorldThemeTravel #LivingInTheAlps #Austria #Austria'sLargestNationalPark #SalzburgHoheTauern #Alps #AlpineGlacier #Zel am SeeVillage #KrimmlVillage Living in the Alps Austria Part 2 Snowy Roads That Reach the Sky How to Walk in the Alps Average elevation 2,500m. The Alps are synonymous with the highest mountains in the world. The Austrian Alps are home to many peaks that are over 3,000m high. The snowy mountain panorama path with glaciers and black rock mountains is a dizzying snowy road that seems to wear away at the sky. For a foreigner not used to snowy roads, the snowy mountains of the Alps are a difficult journey. It is not easy to climb the Hohe Tauern, the center of Austria's great Alpine panorama. Most of the Austrians I met in the snowy fields below the mountain were wearing skis or snowshoes as shoes... For the curator who walked the path barefoot, this journey was even more difficult. I met a woman passing by wearing snowshoes and went with her husband to meet her. The Hohe Tauern Mountains mean 'high path'. The method the curator chose to walk the path was snowshoes. The steep white snowy mountains that slip with even the slightest misstep, the path that takes your breath away as you go up the altitude, and the path that is as difficult as Everest without oxygen for beginner trekkers. So when you arrive at the 3,029-meter high peak Kitzsteinhorn, you are greeted by a magnificent Alpine panorama... The rest of the trekking was fortunate enough to ride a helicopter. Trekkers who wanted to fly in the sky gathered in one place at Fieldsmoos, the village below Dachstein. Once a year, a fairytale-like hot air balloon festival is held! However, the participants are anxious due to the unpredictable Alpine weather... Will the hot air balloons be able to fly...? #Hohe Tauern National Park #Dachstein Mountain Trekking #Fieldsmoos Village #Hot Air Balloon Festival Living in the Alps, Austria Part 3 Between the valleys of the Tyrolean Alps In the movie 'Snowpiercer', the train that ran for 17 years stopped in the bitter cold land, the background of that land is the western part of the Austrian Alps, the Tyrolean Alps The Austrian Alps are a land of majestic peaks and huge valleys that embrace villages in curves. A journey to meet the people of a village embraced by mountains and valleys Innsbruck, the heart of the Alps The water that flows down from the melted snow of the Alps to reach the city, the Inn River The city of Innsbruck, which means the bridge over the Inn River, is the starting and ending point of travel destinations in Tyrol. The Nordkette Mountains, which surround Innsbruck like a back mountain, are a folding screen that blocks the bitter cold wind. If you move west from the Nordkette Mountains, which overlook Innsbruck at a glance, you will come across Hinterstock, famous for its glaciers. Walking through the ice caves there, you will realize that the Alps are mountains of glaciers. Crossing the mountains and valleys of Tyrol is very difficult.... In the days when there were no bridges connecting the valleys, crossing the peaks on the other side of
