Austria

     Austria, a small country in Central Europe famous for its gorgeous
mountain scenery.  The towering Alps, and the foothills stretch across the
western, southern and central parts of the country.  Broad green valleys, lovely
mirror lakes and thick forest cover a good portion of the land.  Austria with no
coastline shares its surrounded borders with Liechtenstein and Switzerland to
the west; Germany and the Czech Republic to the north; Hungary and Slovakia to
the east; and to the south Italy and Slovenia.  North-East is Vienna, Austria's
capital and largest city, where about a fifth of the people live.

Population

     Austria has a population of about 7Ť million.  Most Austrian's choose to
live in  the lower east areas of the country and just south of the Danube River.
Also the capital and largest city, more than one and a half-million of the
Austrian population lives in Vienna.  Other cities with more than 100,000 people
living in them consist of Graz, Innsbruck, Linz, and Scuzburg.

     In May and June Vienna hosts the Vienna Festival.  This festival is a
celebration of music, arts, and theater.  Austrians have a great love for music,
many of the greatest composers were born and played there, many like Beethoven
and other popular composers.  Operas are also very popular, and The Vienna State
Opera House is the most popular for such an activity.  Festivals play an
important part of Austria.  One festival takes place throughout the province of

evil spirits of winter away.
