Health Tip: Visit the Austrian Tyrol and be happy

It is a known fact, (based upon years of empirical evidence), that you will be ridiculously happy if you visit the Austrian Tyrol.

The word “Tyrol” is synonymous with resplendent geography, enchanting architecture and a great quality of life. It also goes without saying that the hiking is heavenly and the food is beyond reproach.
Need proof of the happiness? Here’s some:
