Zay Harding's trek through Austria takes him
on a journey from the beautiful architecture and
countryside of Salzburg to the vast
and spectacular mountain peaks of the Alps. Beginning
in the home of the Sound of Music and Mozart,
Zay then takes a trip by Bus to Hallstatt.
This fascinating little town has a dark history
hidden in the depths of its lake where divers
have found relics of the old Nazi regime. The
church itself has its own special character with
the tradition of digging up decayed bodies from
the graveyard and keeping the decorated bones
in a room in the church. Then upwards to the town
of Lanrsbach and its C11th castle. Taking his
life in his hands he goes canyoning and then to
a spa to recover where he experiences the grass
relaxation technique. Before heading up the mountain
further, Zay cannot resist donning the traditional
lederhosen and participating in a folk dance!
Finally to Neustift and its glacial
peaks 8000 feet up by snow shoe. After investigating
the inside of an ice crevice Zay gets his reward
with spectacular views of the stunning Austrian
mountains.
