Austria's Green Credentials

Austria is home to six national parks, offering a stunning variety of animals, plants and landscapes.

You don't need your car to explore Austria. Be kind to the environment and travel by train, bus or boat, enjoying the country's stunning views all the way.

Regional and good quality produce is at the heart of Austrian cuisine and with 13% of cultivated land and 10% of its farmers organic, Austria is an international organic champion - and this benefits everybody.

Josef Göltl is one of those organic farmers and he tells us about his passion of raising Mangalica and Turopolje pigs in a respectful way on the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl in Burgenland.

Austria has long been recognised as a world leader in sustainable tourism and offers a wide choice of environmentally friendly accommodation. 

Travel slowly. Magic words if you want to return from holiday less stressed than when you left, casting a glance at those apparent trivial things off the beaten track.
