    Austria 4K Drive | Narrow Village Roads to the Gaberl Mountains



    Austria 4K Drive | Narrow Village Roads to the Gaberl Mountains

    This scenic drive continues our 4K journey through Styrian landscapes, combining an Austrian Alps drive, countryside villages, and real European road travel along scenic mountain routes.

    This third part follows a quieter regional route from the Mur valley toward the Gaberl Pass, moving from lived-in towns into higher alpine terrain. The drive shows authentic Austria village life, local traffic, and changing elevation as we climb toward one of Styria’s scenic mountain crossings.

    All filmed in real time with original road sound — no music, just real atmosphere.

      Another beautiful part of Austria.
      Thank you for a nice video.
      Drove through Judenburg many years ago on the way to Zeltweg, the race track.
      Got nailed by photo radar near the track.
      Thanks to Austrian – Germany efficiency, they mailed me the ticket to Canada, HAHA!
      Had to pay it or otherwise if I was ever stopped there by cops on another visit, they would see that I didn't pay my ticket, and
      "Boom, that will be 15 years of hard labour in a salt mine or chipping stone in the Dolomites"!!!!
      Amazing how good quality roads are there compared to Montreal.
      If the Euros ever came here, they would close the whole city until all the roads, and streets get fixed properly even if it took 10 years.
      Roads here are probably the worst in the civilised World.
      Another thing, there are no boring roads in Austria.
      The most boring drive I have done is the Interstate 71 between Columbus, Ohio, and Cincinnati, Ohio on the way to Florida to get some sun.
      Second most boring drive ever is the highway 401 between Montreal, and Toronto.
      Dull, dull, dull, nothing to see.
      And the max. speed is 100km/h. Feels as if you're standing still. Go 110 and you will get a ticket as cops are everywhere.
      Funny, cops don't enforce anything but speed limits.
      You could be driving in the left lane for a hundred kilometers holding up everyone – as some truckers do, or change lanes without signaling or drive with your high beams on, and you will never get a ticket.
      Most truck driver in Ontario are from Punjab, India or Pakistan.
      They are cheap, slave labour to the trucking companies here.
