"9 Places - 9 Treasures" Completes the Dozen This Year

Vorarlberg remains in the lead with four victories in "9 Places - 9 Treasures," the showcase of the most beautiful spots in the nine federal states. Therefore, the homeland-connected ORF series starts its twelfth year with the westernmost state. On Saturday at 6:20 PM on ORF 2, it's "Vorarlberg is so beautiful." Then, the other federal states will follow weekly, until Vienna - like Lower Austria and Burgenland still without a trophy - concludes on September 6th.

Vorarlberg Most Successful State in "9 Places - 9 Treasures"

"9 Places - 9 Treasures: Austria is so beautiful" presents the highlights of the respective state contributions from the past eleven years. The region not only has the winners Formarinsee and Rote Wand (2015), Körbersee (2017), Lünersee (2019), and Wiegensee (2021) to offer. "The film by and with Martina Huber shows quiet moors, mighty mountain landscapes, historic places, and some of Austria's most beautiful lakes," promotes ORF for the show kickoff on July 12th. "Many of the featured places are off the beaten path - ideal for unwinding and pausing. They all impress with their beauty, location, history, or view."

The TV tour through Austria then goes to Burgenland (July 19th), Salzburg (July 26th), Carinthia (August 2nd), Upper Austria (August 9th), Lower Austria (August 16th), and Styria (August 23rd). On August 30th, it's "Tyrol is so beautiful," before the finale of the retrospective round with Vienna on September 6th. Three new places per state will then enter the respective state pre-selections in October.

Finale of "9 Places - 9 Treasures" 2025 Again on National Holiday

Since the invention of the federal state competition in 2014, the show has established itself as a fixture in the ORF calendar. Last year, an average of 823,000 viewers (market share: 35 percent) watched the final victory of the Gadaunerer Gorge in Salzburg. And in 2025, the finale will traditionally be held on the National Holiday (October 26th).
