We're lucky enough to live in the Salzkammergut area of Austria, which fits that description exactly! Apart from the fantastic beer :-) There are some decent beers, but most of of them are just typical lager-style and much of a muchness.

We've just passed our ten years of living here. Never regretted the move. Learning the language has been one of the biggest hurdles, because learning holiday German is one thing, dealing with tradespeople is another! Neighbours have been great as well, very friendly, and we have plenty of English (quite a few Brits in the area) and Austrian (my wife sings in a couple of local choirs) friends. I sometimes can't believe that we had the guts to do it.

We still love visiting the UK, although it tends to be a round of friends and family, which can be a bit wearing.

Is the move permanent? Not sure at the moment. We see how divided the UK has become, and looks to us like a very angry country at the moment. All being well we should be able to stay after Brexit, Austria has been very helpful to Brits wishing to stay. The most likely scenario that would drive us back is financial, because we will more than likely to have to pay our own healthcare in the case of a no-deal - as pensioners, our healthcare here is currently funded by the UK. We've already effectively lost over €300 per month of disposable income due to the fall in value of the pound against the euro since the referendum, and having to potentially pay another €400 per month for healthcare might be a bridge too far. The uncertainty causes sleepless nights.
