Although it does not quite look like this here, it is still gorgeous!
Ahornboden, Austria
Ahornboden, near Innsbruck in Austria's Silver Region (Silberregion), is a true surprise. After all, who'd have guessed that 4,000 feet up in the Alps, among towering snow-capped peaks, you'd find an alpine meadow studded with thousands of mountain maple trees, which turn vibrant yellow every September? The trees, some of them 600 years old, are a sure sign of the region's "fifth season," or Indian summer. This time of year provides one last chance to hike, mountain bike, and feast upon dumpling soup or sugar-coated pancakes at remote Alpine inns before the long winter sets in. Drops in tourism make early autumn the ideal time for budget travelers.
