One of the possible directions to drive through Austria is passing Linz and Salzburg cities. You’d probably take this route if you need to get from Prague to Venice. Here is a short review of what you might visit during this trip.

1. 

   Hochalpenstraße is a beautiful alpine road which will get you to the highest mountain in Austria, the Grossglockner.

   Linz - another small but very nice Austrian town. Beautiful center square, just about 10 minutes from center and you will find MartinsKirche, which is considered to be the oldest church in Austria.

2. Salzburg – known as a salt production center, now a very nice town with old castle opened for visitors. If you will get to the castle tower, you will have a great view on the city. Another interesting place is on the other side of the river, the garden with many unusually statues of some fairy-tale characters.
3. Great route to follow next would be: visiting Krimmler Wasserfälle, then driving to the Heiligenblut, make sure that your navigation system is planing the route by the Hochalpenstraße, it is a beautiful alpine road which will get you to the highest mountain in Austria, the Grossglockner. You will see there glacier, lot of small water falls and for sure, beautiful views! It is paid road and costs about 30 euro.
