The fields and orchards of Austria
SUMMIT COUNTY — Austria has come a long way from the cliches portrayed in The Sound of Music, with a vibrant modern cultural scene and strong tech and industrial sector, but the country still takes pride in supporting local agriculture. In a cider pub near Linz, the kitchen featured a blackboard showing that almost all the food is produced from farms within a 10 mile radius, and the inns of the fruit-growing Wachau region take pride in serving locally grown apricots and plums in their sumptuous deserts.

Neatly groomed alpine pastures and hayfields are the backdrop for a paraglider in the Austrian Alps.
