1. A Country at the Heart of Europe

The Federal Republic of Austria is a land-

locked country situated at the heart of Europe.

It has an area of 83 800 square kilometres,

making it somewhat smaller than Zhejiang or

Jiangsu Province. Its froatiers exte for over

2600 kilometres and, moving clockwise from

tbe north, they border on Czechoslovakia,

Hungary, Yugoslavia, Italy, Switzerland.

Liechtenstein (which divides the Austro-

Swiss frontier for 30 kilometres') and Germany.

Because of its history and Central European

location, Austria is frequently referred to as

the "gateway" or "crossroads" hetween Eastern

and Western Europe and indeed between the

northern and southern countries of the con-

tinent.

Central European time applies in Austria.

So it is seven hours behind Beijing, according

to G. M. T. However, the clocks will be advanced

ons hour for summer time between March and

September.

Topographically, Austria is predominantly

an alpine country aad, in consequence. it bas a

great variety of beautiful scenery. The Alps?

stretch all the way through western Austria

(Vorarlberg, the Tyrol and Salzburg provinces)

and southward into the province of Carinthia.

They continue eastward with decreasing height,

to end up southwest of Vienna. The highest of

the alpine peaks in Austria is the Grossglockner

which has an elevation of 3 800 metres.

In contrast to the Alps, the smaller moun-

tains of the north and north-east of Austria

rarely rise above 950 metres and extend gently

downwards to the valley of the river Danube.

These northern mountains give way in the east

to the Marshland. The Vienna Basin scuth of

Vienna continnes into the great Hungarian

plain.

The Danube, which has its source in the

Black Forest region of Germany, enters Austria

at Passau and then flows eastward for more

than 320 kilometres, cutting through the cities of

Linz and Vienna, before crossing into Czecho-

slovakia. The Danube is 2 850 kilometres long

and flows through seven countries before

entering the Black Sea.
