In Austria, they mostly speak German, have some of the most picturesque mountain villages and some pretty awesome ski resorts. But look a little deeper into the rugged alpine terrain and you will find some rather odd things…
Haus Steht Kopf, Terfens

We start with a house that looks like a tornado has ripped it up and dropped it down. Not only can you go inside, but it is also a pretty well-known tourist trap and even has a gift shop!

Have you ever wondered how some people get their golden tans? No, me neither, but it might be worth asking in Austria because they might have been bathing in beer!

How does it get its green colour? Because for most the year this lake is a park complete with fresh green grass, then once a year glacier water fills it.

Made from the artfully arranged bones of some 5800+ Austrians is a Charnel House located within a very Gothic parish church.

Its not often you come across a castle located on a cliff top. But that is no cliff top, it’s a dormant volcano!

Not only is this place the home of some pretty weird waterfalls, but also under that grassy mound is a fun crystal chamber!
Eisriesenwelt, Werfen

Sadly it is not really something photos can show, but this is the world’s biggest ice cave! Now that is cool.
The Observation Tower, Vienna

With amazing views of the ethereal forest, this staircase only tower is not one for people with a fear of heights (and exercise).

What better way to house a load of art than to keep it inside a building that is art itself! Seriously, this is pretty weird indeed.

There is a very good reason this made it as number 1 in my post “Top 10 Weird and Unusual Ferris Wheels” it is the world’s oldest moving Ferris wheel and design wise it is a thing of beauty.
