According to foreigners, Austrians yodel and ski from mountain hut to mountain hut in lederhosen, eat sumptuous desserts such as Kaiserschmarren or Sacher cakes and watch Sissi films. Between clichés and reality, there is room for a wide range of truths. Krone+ reveals it: this is what we Austrians are really like!

Because of our size, we are often not even known abroad, and because of our name we are often confused with Australia.
