Austria have this alpine germanic culture (such as in Tyrol and Hallstatt) like Southern Germany does, but also a very refined and imperial culture best exemplified in Vienna (Salzburg too, to a certain dentre) than Berlin (even when acouting Potsdam) and Northern Germany lacks
Overall, I think Austria is more picturesque and prettier than Germany despite being like 20% of Germany size.
