Brazilian mining giant Vale has invested $1.3 billion in Mozambican coal mines. Production at the Moatize coal basin near the city of Tete started last year.

SALZBURGERLAND TREATS Salzburg is a convenient location to explore some of the many attractions the state has to offer. All of these locations are an easy and incredibly scenic day trip away, or you can stay overnight.
The Gastein Valley, the longest side valley in the Hohe Tauern range, is home to Bad Gastein. This picturesque Belle Epoque town offers a holistic spa experience at the new Felsentherme Gastein. In the middle of the valley is Bad Hofgastein, which attracted European royalty over the centuries for its thermal springs. Take the cure at the new Alpen Therme Gastein or the Spa & Rehabilitation Centre. The world famous Heilstollen, caves deep inside the mountains, offer a unique radon thermal and water vapour bath.
kilometre park is Austria’s biggest and Europe’s second largest national park. Hohe Tauern is fairly unique as it is situated almost exclusively on privatelyowned land. It includes mountain ranges along the central Alps with Austria’s highest mountain, the Großglockner (3,789 metres), some 130 square kilometres of glaciers (even though they are decreasing) and several major rivers (most importantly Salzach, Mur, Isel and Möll). The National Park Hohe Tauern contains one third of all plant species that can be found in Austria, alongside with some 10,000 animal species. The largest visitor centre is found in Mittersill, which is perfect for kids thanks to an educational and hands-on experience that demonstrates the eight worlds that are found in the national park.

At the end of the valley is Sportgastein, a name that speaks for itself. In winter this is a skier’s paradise with numerous pistes that cater for all abilities. In summer it is the hiking and cycling paths that attract the fitness minded. But even if you are not an active person it is well worth taking a gondola to the top of the Stubnerkogel (2,650 metres above sea level) and drink in the fresh air and fantastic views. If you’re travelling through Salzburgerland you will probably enter and leave National Park Hohe Tauern without even realising it. This 1,800 square
The Krimmler Waterfalls, Austria’s highest at 380 metres, are also part of the National Park Hohe Tauern. They are stunningly beautiful and you can explore them by hiking along a path following the course of all three waterfalls. Besides the healthy hike, ongoing research by the Paracelsus Private Medical University Salzburg has proven that the falls’ fine atomised water has a healing effect on allergic asthma. In Salzburgerland the journey is often as interesting as the end destination. High Alpine peaks, dazzling green valleys and villages with their picturebook wooden houses just keep rolling past. It’s enough to make one want to sing ‘Edelweiss’.
