Hiking Skiing
What are some recreational activities in Austria?

This is for a project. What do Austrians do for fun (besides skiing, hiking, snowboarding, and bird-watching)?

Easy ten points! =]

My nephew likes to do hang-gliding and para-sailing. People in cities like Vienna and Salzburg usually love to go to concerts and to the opera. Austrians also like to take day trips to see local sights, and they like to eat out nicely at a local inn for lunch while they’re doing it. Some Austrians I know like to drive their motor bikes on mountain passes. Spending a week or two living on a farm is very popular, especially for people with kids. Austrians also love spas. There are several hot springs and mineral springs spas in Austria, and they get lots of visitors. In southern Austria, there are some wonderful medium-altitude lakes that are relatively shallow and get quite warm because of the sun exposure at that altitude, and people love to swim in them (they are very clean). People who can afford a small sailboat also like to sail there.

Austrians also like festivals, especially ones with music and good food. They like folk music and folk dancing. Because most people are Catholic, religious traditions are valued, and people enjoy the traditional activities for religious holidays.

Give me time, I can probably think of more, but those are the main ones I can think of.
