Hill Country
The heart of Texas is the Hill Country. A refreshing blend of great music, rolling hills, picturesque plains, and gorgeous wildflowers as far as the eye can see, this is a great place to kick back and relax. The area is well known for its wine and a day trip to any of its vineyards will delight the senses. Clear rivers, spacious parks, hike-and-bike trails, and an abundance of lakes feed your outdoor adventure fantasies while you find the heart of Texas is also culturally alive with captivating museums, gripping theatrical performances, and abundant historical sites. Austin, the state capital, is a great place to visit if you are looking for a big city with a small town feel. Great music is in abundance here. The self-proclaimed “Live Music Capital of the World” suggests a walk up and down Sixth Street to choose whether its blues, country, reggae, jazz, conjunto, Tejano, swing, or rock you want to hear. Located on the north bank of the Colorado River, the city offers great outdoor activities and camping. Arkansas Bend Park offers boating, swimming, fishing, camping, and beautiful vistas. When looking for a place to stay, be sure to remember that Austin has over 25 Bed & Breakfasts and 140 hotels. |

It’s a blazing hot summer afternoon, but the scorching heat does not seem to affect the crowds at Schlitterbahn, New Braunfels. Some of them are enjoying a drink at the floating bar. Others, lathered with sunscreen, are lazily floating on tubes in the Comal River or in one of Schillterbahn’s artificial rivers. Some others are having a whale of a time sliding down the variety of water slides. Surefire ways to beat the heat! Schlitterbahn is undoubtedly the highlight of New Braunfels during the sultry Texas summers. Voted several times as America’s best water park, it offers a multitude of water activities for all ages.
