Situated at an altitude of 2020 m Kühtai is Austria's highest winter sport village and because of this it has best snowconditions from beginning of December till spring. The slopes are next to the hotels, so no walking or driving is neccessary. Besides 30 km of ski and snowboard slopes, Kühtal excels in its great offer of ski tours. Every Wednesday and Saturday night skiing possible
The panorama is made up from 560 images at focal length of 400mm. It was shoot on Christmas eve. All the other spherical panoramas can be viewed here http://360cities.net/area/kuehtai Any commercial use or publication of the image, in whole or in part, without prior written authorization of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited. |

View from fortress Ehrenberg at Reutte on a bright sunny day in April 2009.
129 21MP RAW shots taken with an EOS 5D Mark II and a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens mounted on a really crappy tripod @400mm, f/8, 1/500@100ISO, and fixed WB. RAW workflow was done with Canon DPP, stitching with Hugin 0.7.0 and nearly no postprocessing necessary. |

Second attempt, still a stitching error...over there on the left. However, it's one of my own doing, as there was a duplicate photo in the sky. Somewhere I lost one single frame and rather than delete three columns, I duplicated one photo. The stitcher knew no mercy, however, and hence the artifact there. But this time no problem with the church off to the right, as was the case with the others. Lots of detail here, zoom in and see who's walking around! As always for this batch, date was off, taken not 30 Apr 2009, but rather 30 May 2009 |

Looking at the village of Gaschurn in western Austria, close to the Swiss border.
Behind the camera up in the mountains is a very large snow skiing area and thousands of people called 'silvretta nova'. Look at the link in my comment to see a nice panorama I took down there. One of the snapshots shows the hotel were we stayed. I had bad luck.. they didn't want to buy the pictures and panoramas I took at their hotel.. This neat little concept to earn back the money that I spent for my holidays worked out well a few times before.. unfortunately not in this case ;-) © 2008 Markus Krueger http://www.digital-park.de |

This panorama shows the ruins and town of Dürnstein with its famous blue church.
Also have a look at http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=24760 which is taken from the other side of the river Danube. You should definitely try to view this in Google Earth! If you are looking for private accomodation in the area check out our website at http://vermietung.laistler.net Unfortunately I left out a small area when taking the pictures (handheld), that's why I had to insert the name tag... |

Seefeld is a village in the Tirol province of Austria and is located 17 km northwest of Innsbruck. It is a popular destination for walking holidays in the summer, and winter sports in winter.
Seefeld, with its approximately 3,000 inhabitants and 8,500 guest beds, forms the core of the Olympiaregion Seefeld. The pedestrian district in the centre of town is great for walking and shopping in summer and winter alike. Seefeld is an important centre for cross-country skiing. The Nordic events at both the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics were hosted at Seefeld. The 1985 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships also took place here. World Cup competitions have been located here a number of times. The alpine skiing area is small and appropriate for beginners. There are two separate small areas which are not connected except by a ski bus or taxis. The terrain itself is quite good and there is good access to other facilities (walks, shops and the Olympia swimming complex). See the same panorama as spherical panorama here: http://www.360cities.net/image/seefeld-haermelekopf-bergstation |

This Gigapan was taken while on holiday in Austria.
The old town of Salzburg is worth a visit and also the climb up to the castle is amazing. Even if the climb looks steep and the entrance fee to the castle is rather high, have a look at it, it is well worth it. The chopped off hands are from a guy who was so fascinated by the gigapan system that he wanted to get on the picture. In the end it was only his hands that made it... |
