General Information  \nGeography  \nAustria lies at the very heart of the Alps having common borders with eight other countries and covers a total area of 84.000 km2 making it a little larger than Scotland and smaller than Portugal. Austria is 590 km long east-west and 290 km north-south at its broadest point. The landscape varies considerably. Two thirds of the country are dominated by the Eastern Alps, these being heavily wooded. In the alpine foreland forests are replaced to a great extent by arable land, especially on the northern edge of the Alps. In the Pannonian region of East Austria scrub and heath land are characteristic. To the very east Lake Neusiedl in Burgenland shows typical salt steppe flora. The Danube flows some 350 km (220 miles) through Austria on its way to the Black Sea. In the west the Rhine forms part of the border as does Lake Constance. The highest mountain is the Grossglockner with 3. 797m (12,465 ft) .  \nClimate  \nAustria lies in the Central European transitional climatic zone, with prevailing west-northwest winds. In West Austria temperature fluctuations are more moderate between day and night and between summer and winter than in the East, where a more continental Pannonian climate prevails. Rain and snowfall is adequate throughout the year, decreasing gradually west to east. The higher mountain regions are dominated by the characteristic features of the alpine climate (high precipitation, short summers and long winters) . A special feature of our alpine weather is the „Föhn“, a warm, gusty storm-wind which plunges into the valleys of the northern Alps, especially in spring and autumn. Innsbruck is a well-known „Föhn“ area with roughly 64 „Föhn“ days a year. Innsbruck has cold to very cold winters (temperatures can sink below 20°), hopefully with lots of snow, and warm to hot summers (temperatures can climb to +30°), hopefully with lots of sunshine.  \nPopulation  \nWith about 8,8 million inhabitants (105 per km2) Austria is thinly populated compared to other European countries. This is due to the fact that 60 % of the Alps are uninhabited. Half the population lives in cities, almost 20 % of them in Vienna, the capital. Other major cities are Linz, Graz, Salzburg and Innsbruck. 98 % of the Austrian population speak German as their native language. Six ethnic groups are officially recognized living mainly in border areas . According to Austrian law every young person over the age of fourteen can choose his or her religion freely. At the moment roughly 74% of the Austrian","cbCainDmTOAOAY6l","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainDmTOAOAY6l","pdf",11455220,35,"English","# I.
