Austria Travel: Cave Seenparadies, the underground lake paradise

This video clip was taken on July 31, 2007 during my trip to Austria , my home country. My brother, sister-in-law, two friends and I drove to an area called "Südsteiermark" ( Southern Styria ). Styria is a province in southern Austria , located about 1.5 hours southwest of Vienna and immediately adjacent to Slovenia . The south-western part of this province features rolling hills that are widely used to cultivate wine. The most famous wine variety in this area is called "Schilcher" and is a typical Styrian variety.

We went hiking in the vineyards near Silberberg which actually features a viticulture school. Excellent 360s views were to had from the "Kreuzkogelwarte", the lookout tower on the Kreuzkogel hill. We even saw the vineyard of famous Austrian tennis player Thomas Muster who hails from the nearby town of Leibnitz . Then we went into one of the local country restaurants for a well-deserved lunch of Austrian "Backhendl" -- Austrian fried chicken.
