Ever wondered what Austria has up its sleeve beyond sports records? Prepare to be amazed as we explore Austria's most fascinating records, including the world's oldest zoo and the intriguing tale of Tyrol's "mother of all mines." Discover how salt, dubbed "white gold," shaped regions like Salzburg, and get ready for a whirlwind tour of Austria's heritage and history that you won't want to miss.

Get ready to venture into Vienna, where we'll take you sky-high on a Ferris wheel with views that will thrill and chill. We’ll whisk you back to the origins of the city's Christmas markets, unveiled in the 13th century, and squeeze in a laugh with the world's largest lederhosen. From the majestic "Eisriesenwelt" ice cave to quirky cultural feats, Austria’s unique charm is on full display, and we promise, it’s anything but ordinary.

Finally, we tip our hats to Austria’s contributions to the Guinness Book of World Records, including some you might not expect, like cramming people into a tiny car. And we couldn’t leave out a shoutout to Arnold Schwarzenegger—after all, there's only one of him! Join us as we entertain the idea of a 'Schnitz & Giggles' field trip to his museum in Thal, and share a playful peek into Austria’s cultural kaleidoscope.
