I'm travelling through Austria from Innsbruck to Villach. And this is Part 2, where the ÖBB RailJet takes us south across/through the Austrian Alps to Villach.

The Tauernbahn proves to be another gem of a ride. The railjet's comfort combined with fantastic views from the train window is really a match made in heaven.
