Enjoy the bootiful scenery
Hotelier Michael Gehring is trying to tempt holidaymakers to see the natural boot-y around to his four star mountain resort - by giving each guest a free pair of walking boots.
The 100 GBP-a-time leather footwear is on offer to anyone who books a long weekend at the Hotel Unterhof, in Filzmoos, Austria.
Gehring explained: "We have spectacular mountain walks in the area and wanted to think of way to encourage people to come here and stay and try to see it at its best, by walking.
"People often come to stay to relax but they don't have the right footwear for walking. That won't be a problem again," he added.
Filzmoos which is part of the province of Salzburg has its main income from tourism: skiing in winter and hiking in summer with the nearby Bischofsmuetze (Bishop's Helmet) and the Dachstein the most popular for walks.

I teach at a high school and I just ceeahronpd a school trip over Spring Break to italy Greece. It was fantastic! We stopped in the Madrid Airport (just for a layover) but we were there for 7 hours and just by looking out the airport windows and out of the plane windows, Madrid seemed just gorgeous!We went to Rome, Vatican City, Florence, Sorrento, Capri, and Naples in Italy. It was just amazing! Florence, Rome, and the Vatican City of a bunch of really interesting tours and shopping there is great! We saw St Peters Square, the Sistine Chapel, Colesseum, Trevi Fountain, and Florence is breathtaking! We then took an overnight ferry to Greece and went to Delphi and Athens. Both awesome! I havent been to any other countries, so I cant tell you about those, but Italy, Greece, and (part of) Spain were absolutely amazing and you'll definitely find stuff to do! We didnt have enough time and we were there for 10 days!
