In Vienna we saw the Lipizzan Stallians. They keep some of them there in the city but how to get to them, I have no idea. They are so beautiful and are something other than scenery. Here's a link to get you started.

Thank you for the comment. I am currently in Graz. Vienna is a few days away, after visiting Innsbruck and Salzburg.
Cheers.

Not quite. The Swiss make a formal distinction between Autobahn and Autostrasse--which is what you are talking about. The Autostrasse is not a limited-access country road. They actually were designed and built that way. They are intersection-free, but there is only one lane in each direction.
There is no such thing as Autostrasse, there is only Staße, and that simply means road/street, so naming something Autostraße would not make any sense, thats what a road is for, Autos. Autobahn is a combination of Auto and train in the same word, relating to the straight and direkt connection between different loacations!

Actually, both Switzerland and Austria have certain roads designated as an Autostrasse. These are one step below the Autobahn, still having restricted access, but not requiring the Vignette needed for travel on the Autobahn. The name makes perfect sense, since both countries actually use that very word. Most European countries have this class of road, although known by various names. (In Germany, this type of road is called a Kraftfahrstrasse.) And by the way, I could point you to numerous streets bearing the "strasse" designation that are not for autos, but only pedestrians (i.e., Kärntnerstrasse or Jasomirgottstrasse, as well as parts of Mahlerstrasse and Singerstrasse in Vienna; or Maria Theresien Strasse or Herzog Friedrich Strasse in the old town of Innsbruck), so Strasse does not necessarily imply auto usage.

What you're referring to is Landstrasse and not Autostrasse! And Germany does not have a Kraftfahrtstrasse! They do have an Kraftwagenverkehrsweg!
