Feature ahead is a green bridge, something Austria is now fairly keen on for their Autobahns. The lorry does fit underneath :)

Salzburg lies right on the German border, and is easily accessible straight from it.

Austria's A1 offers spectacular views at its 'Raststationen', but the road itself is quite ordinary.

The A1 is the main east-west route in northern Austria, linking Vienna with Salzburg and Munich. Apologies for the poor quality, it's a frame from a movie shot with a digital camera.

Heading into Salzburg from Munich. Note the country roundels on the sign; Austria does this a lot.

This area, popularized rather unfortunately by a certain German Leader in the 30s, is known as the 'German Corner' as, on the map, it seems to chip into Austria (and indeed provides the main connection between many pairs of Austrian centres - most cars you see are Austrian and this section of the A8 always features on Austrian traffic reports).

The 'German Corner' comes to an end soon, as Bavaria gives way to Salzburg.
