    Hallstatt - Travel Video.
    DVD. Global Treasures. 10 Minutes. Hallstatt is located on the shores of a sleepy Austrian lake, surrounded by high hills and the Dachstein Mountain Range. Similar to a fjord, Hallstatt Lake extends in front of the picturesque village that was one of the earliest and most unique settlements in this region. Due to the early discovery of large salt deposits in the surrounding mountains, the village has a proud history that dates back a thousand years and archaeology has revealed that this area was inhabited from around five thousand years B.C. Long before Christianity came to Salzkammergut and prior to any churches being built, an independent prehistoric culture evolved. The village contains a rich variety of historic buildings and its churches contain precious works of art such as a Late Gothic altar created by Leonhard Astl. The old marketplace and fountain is crowned by a trinity column that dates back to 1744. The welcoming facades of the dwellings have graced this atmospheric village since the 16th century and the market probably dates back to the 14th century. In 1891 Lake Street played a vital role for the village's busy commercial traffic and the impressive Countryside and Pre-History Museum displays the history of salt mining in the area and its importance to the village. In 1846 the Salinen civil servant, Johann Georg Ramsauer, made a sensational discovery when he discovered a prehistoric burial ground in the village. During seventeen years of excavation a total of twenty thousand objects were discovered in nine hundred and eighty graves. These discoveries subsequently led to the establishment of Hallstatt's intriguing and fascinating culture.

    Kaprun Dam Salzburg, Austria - Travel Video.
    DVD. Modern Times Wonders Kaprun Valley is not only famous for its splendid natural scenery where one can relax in peaceful surroundings, it is also famous for its technical achievements. For at a height of 1,600 metres and within the near impenetrable mountain world of the Grossglockner, engineers created what is both a technical and architectural masterpiece, the Tauern Power Plant. Up until 1945, more than 10,000 forced laborers worked on what was then a massive building site, but it was not until some years later that the plant began to operate. Supplied by two dams, the Mooserboden and the Drossen, water from the Pasterze Glacier is stored in the 85 million cubic metre Mooserboden Water Reservoir. Over the years, the capacity of the power plant has been further increased and optimized. The plant's present capacity of 300 megawatts will, with the inauguration of a new plant, be increased to 480 megawatts and will provide no less than 10 percent of Austria's total electricity requirement. With the construction of this remarkable power plant, Kaprun Valley, at the foot of the Grossglockner, has been greatly enriched due to what is truly a modern architectural wonder!

The exquisite design of the church's splendid interior was mostly the work of Italian architect, Antonio Beduzzi. But it is the remarkable architecture of the central Baroque buildings that have given Melk its reputation as being an icon of occidental monastery culture.

    Salzburg - Travel Video.
    DVD. Global Treasures. 10 Minutes. The magnificent buildings within Mozart's famous city of Salzburg are not the only reason why it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Austria. The Prince Archbishop, Wolf Dietrich, ordered that Salzburg Cathedral be built according to Italian Early Baroque design. It was constructed between 1614 and 1628 on the site of a previous Romanic building. At one time the Getreidegasse served as the main road of the old city and on January 27th 1756, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in house number seven.. 119 metres above the town is one of Middle Europe's most well preserved castles, Hohensalzburg, which covers an area of around 30,000 square metres. The centre of Kapitel Square is dominated by a Schwemme, a fountain that dates back to the 18th century where the city's horses were washed down. There are numerous impressive sacred buildings in the city such as the Baroque Kollegien Church designed by Johann Bernhard Fischer Von Erlach. A fascinating and remarkably attractive park surrounds the Lustschloss Hellbrunn that dates back to both the Manieristic and Early Baroque period. The interior of the palace is as beautiful as its external appearance. Illusionist architectural paintings were a popular device designed to alienate reality. Due to the exquisite taste of the royal archbishops of a glorious age, today Salzburg is one of the most beautiful Baroque cities in Europe.

    Salzburg - Travel Video.
    DVD. Vista Point. 26 Minutes. The Austrian city of Salzburg is a city of bishops as well as being the birthplace of world famous classical composer, Amadeus Mozart. The cathedral is located in the heart of the city, a Baroque building situated on the same site as the city's first church and now surrounded by several squares. Even today the cultural picture of the city on the Salzach is dominated by more than a hundred churches, castles and palaces. Hohensalzburg is the largest fully-preserved medieval fortress in Middle Europe. It is located one hundred and nineteen metres above the city and covers over thirty thousand square metres. It is like a small medieval town within itself with several buildings, courtyards and squares. Bastions with mighty towers were built at strategic points and together with powerful gates they make the fortress near impregnable. It is believed that during a siege the famous Salzburg Bull tricked the city's attackers into believing that the population had a good stock of food! Medieval Salzburg became a `German Rome', an Italian looking city of Early Baroque design. The Getreide-Gasse is the main street in the centre of the city and in former times was called, Trabe-Gasse, a name that demonstrates the fact that the people there were always in a hurry! The city is a work of art within itself, an historic treasure chest of timeless beauty, full of southern flair and joie de vivre. Salzburg is most definitely a Baroque gem located in the very heart of Europe.

In the Middle Ages St. Wolfgang was one of the most visited pilgrimage destinations in Central Europe having attracted seventy thousand of the faithful each year. In the summer of 1873 the first paddle-steamer was introduced and the region eventually became famous due to an operetta, Das Weisse R?ssl Am Wolfgangsee. The area's main village is Fuschl that is situated on the Fuschlsee at the western end of the Salzkammergut. A tranquil and romantic lake that has inspired countless composers, poets and authors. The lake is a glimmering turquoise colour and the surrounding landscape is truly superb. It takes about three hours to walk around it. Shaped like a sickle the Mondsee is situated between the Drachenwand and Schafberg Mountains. The lake is eleven kilometres long and seventy metres deep and has a relatively warm temperature due to its sheltered location and lack of inlets from cold mountain rivers. During the Ice Age a huge lime plate broke into two sections and created the Dachstein Mountains and the Toten Gebirge. The Dachstein is a fabulous world of imposing and majestic rock and ice. Its remote location set between picturesque mountains and lakes is truly captivating. A landscape of both history and culture the SALZKAMMERGUT a veritable paradise in the heart of Europe!

    Semmering - Travel Video.
    DVD. Global Treasures. 10 Minutes. The Semmering Railroad is a remarkable alpine railway line that has been operating in Austria for a hundred and fifty years. Construction of a railroad across mountain terrain posed a major problem but the Semmering Mountain Railway that embarked from Payerbach overcame all obstacles. One of the most impressive architectural achievements of the railroad is the two hundred and twenty seven metre long and twenty four metre high Schwarza Viaduct. The railway line to the Semmering Pass contains sixteen viaducts, more than a hundred bridges and fifteen tunnels. A huge quantity of manpower was used to create it with twenty thousand workers engaged to complete the daunting task. However, the line was inaugurated after only six years of construction. Steam trains were eventually replaced by electric trains but the railway itself has hardly changed at all and continues to form part of a fascinating and irresistible combination of both technology and Nature.

At that time a castle was also built at this location for the sponsor of the monastery, Leopold The Pious.

    DVD. Cosmos Global Documentaries. 52 Minutes. The Tyrol is made up of untouched landscapes, idyllic mountain villages and a magnificent mountain world that makes this region that covers the west and southwest of Austria and Northern Italy, a nature lover's paradise. The Tyrol also contains the Hohe Tauern National Park that extends for more than eighteen hundred square kilometres and covers large sections of the Eastern Alps and features a marvellous variety of natural scenery. One of the most popular regions in the park is the Defreggental and the pretty health resort of Sankt Veit. The Southern Tyrol is in Italy at the edge of the Central Alps and south of the Brenner Pass is one of the most important traffic routes in Europe. With much less traffic than the Brenner but far more scenic is the Strada Delle Dolomiti, a hundred kilometre long high Alpine road that travels from Bozen to Cortina D?Ampezzo. In the Ebbs Stud at the foot of the Kaisergebirge in the Austrian Tyrol is a fine example of Tyrollean culture, the Haflinger breed of horses that is friendly, strong and reliable and a cross between a Tyrollean mountain mare and an Arab stallion. Auffach is the starting point of one of the most spectacular journeys into the mountain world of the Kitzb?hler Alps. From the comfortable panoramic cabins of the Schatzbergbahn there is a wonderful view across the high Wildsch?nau Valley and surrounding mountains. In contrast to other of the Tyrol's cities, Innsbruck has the atmosphere of a large city but it is also known for its historic charm. The city's unique landmark is an architectural masterpiece of Late Gothic design that is called the Goldenes Dachl due to the three thousand gilded copper tiles that cover the roof of its two storey oriel. The Tyrol is a land of mountains, a sparkling gem in the very heart of Europe and a region full of tradition and history. A veritable love affair with nature!
