Renowned figures such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Freud have all called this magnificent city home. However, the Austrian capital is far from being regarded as a mere preserved relic of antiquity.

Presently, the Adirondack Park—protected as “forever wild” by the New York State Constitution since 1892—remains the largest publicly preserved area in the contiguous United States, encompassing 6 million acres, surpassing the combined size of Everglades, Glacier, Grand Canyon, and Yellowstone National Parks.
