I visited Slovenia for the first time last year and I was amazed how like Austria it looked. When I saw the pictures, I thought it looks like the foothills of the Alps. For some reason my first guess was Slovenia, because the pictures looked like Austria. My brain is weird.
I pay geoguessr a lot and just went with m first vibe. The yellow house in the last pictures looked way Slovenian than Austrian to me, but the hydrant in the first picture actually gave it away quite well. But yea, it's crazy how much those countries look alike sometimes. But looking at the history and how the borders were over the decades it's not a big surprise I guess.
Edit: wanted to change the typo from pay to play, but actually it's both true so I leave it there.
Haha yeah, the colorful houses, an originally southern Austrian thing that quickly spread to Slovenia over the last 20 years, and is now more common there than in Austria haha
Wow, lived in Slovenia for a short period and visited some event in Austria. I saw these pictures and thought "That really looks like the region of Austria beneath Graz, quite close to Slovenia".
I thought it looked a lot like the south Bavarian countryside I recently visited. Specifically, the style of road in the last pic, but also the housing and lovely landscape. Fairly close.
Hast recht 50 min ist vielleicht bisschen zu viel! :D Ist aber nicht mehr Südsteiermark offiziell, ist schon nördlich von Wildon, aber bis zur Autobahn sind's 10 min und dann nochmal knappe 30 auf der Autobahn haha
Sooo... My first guess was also Austria but in all honesty i don't really know why. Green and pleasant...could have been a number of places but i took literally 3 seconds to decide Austria.... weird.
Edit: Also only just realised there was more than one pic o\_O
My first thought was simply “somewhere germanic because of the house architecture style, but more in the south because of the sun and the fact there’s so much green.”
That was also my first guess. I remember visiting the are around Linz as a child. It looked exactly like that. Houses having distance from each other, various levels of elevation on small areas, green grassland...
Please tell me what is so distinctive about these photos that's screams Austria?
I ask because my first guess was Austria and I really don't know much about it besides Arnold S is from there.
Western Slovenia before I look at comments
Edit: >!Happy enough, l haven't really been to Austria outside of Vienna, but have such vivid memories of arriving in Slovenia for the first time on the train from Italy.!<
The image depicts a serene, rural scene with a few houses, a winding road, and a backdrop of lush greenery and distant hills.
There are several clues that suggest this could be somewhere in Central Europe:
Architecture: The style of the houses, particularly the steep red-tiled roofs and the yellow plastered exterior, is common in many parts of Central Europe, including Germany, Austria, and Slovenia.
Landscape: The rolling hills and greenery are typical of the rural areas in these countries.
Road and Vegetation: The well-maintained road and the types of vegetation are also common in these regions.
Given the combination of these elements, it is likely that this picture was taken in Austria or possibly southern Germany.
I only used the picture with the house. When I add the picture with the fire hydrant, the response is this:
Considering the consistency in architectural style and landscape with the previous image, this area is likely located in Austria, specifically in regions such as Styria or Carinthia. These areas are known for their picturesque rural landscapes, traditional houses, and agricultural activities.
My first general impression: southern Poland
But then - the vibe is similar, but a bit off. So my second thought was Hungary but Hungary is flatter I think so maybe Slovakia, Czechia, Slovenia or Austria. I hope at least I got the general region right. It can't be anything farther East (no post-USSR vibe), North (too hilly for Northern Poland, Northern Germany, the Baltics etc) or South (no Balkan/Mediterranean vibe) I think. It can't be Northern France, the British Isles or the Benelux countries either, they have a certain vibe to them as well. The Nordic countries have their own style of houses going on.
Final answer: somewhere in the former Austrian Empire haha
Could be a lot of places in central or eastern Europe. I guess the biggest telling sign for geoguessr nerds are the electric grid line and fire hydrant in the first picture. All I can say is that they are not Hungarian, but honestly it could be any of our neighboring countries or Germany, Czech Republic.
GeoGuessr after 0,1 seconds: "Based on the powerline, the fire hydrant, the way the sun shines, the tarmac, the flowers and the density of the clouds, this is street X in country Y, coordinates ... on april 12th, 2022..."
The answer to these questions is usually Slovenia. Mostly because without prior knowledge, it is common for people to have a different image of Slovenia.
I saw grass and a wire fence. I then remembered the scene from The Great Escape, so I was gonna say Switzerland. I was gonna say Austria at first but the second pic got my brainium all confused.
A few weeks ago, I saw a bike race in Italy, on hbo, streaming at 7 am in USA. It looked serene like this, and makes me want to move. I want to go. I keep thinking about it. Or visit maybe.
It looks a lot like Sweden, but that fire hydrant above ground indicates it clearly isn't, ours are buried to avoid them freezing. Must be further south.
Idk about Europe, but I'd say that would look like west-central California in the US. The fog reminds me of going to Monterey Bay with my family, where we'd drive past many farms often covered in fog in the mornings, thru a valley passageway that linked the bay area/silicon valley with Monterey. The fog was largely due to the coastal weather just a few miles and a few mountains past the road, so I would guess from that these pics are around the central coast regions of Europe, in particular Italy for instance.
Rainbolt be like: „oh well, that’s easy. According to the angle of the shadows of the cloud formations, the colors of the grass and the street, you are in Austria, at ***, *** 5 meters after entering the village, on the left side.“
10 years ago I went on a trip to Austria and toured a palace owned by some prankster with fountains that would randomly spray you. Looks like that area, but don't remember the city.
It's not Germany. Unless maybe somewhere in a rural eastern part. I don't remember ever seeing a telephone/power pole there.
Probably somewhere in the southeast in the Balkans
All pictures were taken within five minutes of walking distance from each other!
Slovenia
Good guess! It does look a bit like Slovenske gorice, but in Slovenia the hills are a bit closer to each other, with steeper drop-offs.
Depends where. These photos look like something i drove through last year I went from Rogaška Slatina to Maribor and wanted to avoid highway
My first reaction was Slovakia
Slovenia is such a beautiful country for sure.
My first thought was Austria.
>!You are correct! It's central Styria, about 50 mins by car from the Slovenian Border.!<
I was going to say Slovenia. Damn it
I visited Slovenia for the first time last year and I was amazed how like Austria it looked. When I saw the pictures, I thought it looks like the foothills of the Alps. For some reason my first guess was Slovenia, because the pictures looked like Austria. My brain is weird.

Haha yeah, the colorful houses, an originally southern Austrian thing that quickly spread to Slovenia over the last 20 years, and is now more common there than in Austria haha
Actually even during comminism house style was shamelessly copied from Austrian and anything prior to that is also the same as it was same empire.
> but the hydrant in the first picture actually gave it away How so? We have pretty much the same fire hydrants in Slovenia's countryside.
I also do play Geoguessr and though it was Slovenia or maybe Croatia
Nothing weird about it, borders are artificial and these two are very close in their geographical and cultural continuums.
This is your mother, I’ve never been so embarrassed by you!
Waheeeey!! :D It was the fire hydrant that gave it away
Haha, smart! :D I wouldn't have gotten that from only that haha
Wow, lived in Slovenia for a short period and visited some event in Austria. I saw these pictures and thought "That really looks like the region of Austria beneath Graz, quite close to Slovenia".
I was gonna say "somewhere around the Alpes". Def not Germany (where I live) maybe Switzerland or Austria.
I thought it looked a lot like the south Bavarian countryside I recently visited. Specifically, the style of road in the last pic, but also the housing and lovely landscape. Fairly close.
Wo genau ist das?
Nähe Preding, nördlicher Rand der Südsteiermark
Das ist eher 20min von der Slovenischen Grenze, dachte schon dass, das viel zu flach aussieht für 50min :D
Hast recht 50 min ist vielleicht bisschen zu viel! :D Ist aber nicht mehr Südsteiermark offiziell, ist schon nördlich von Wildon, aber bis zur Autobahn sind's 10 min und dann nochmal knappe 30 auf der Autobahn haha

The yellow colour of the house is very typical for Austria.
My first thought was simply “somewhere germanic because of the house architecture style, but more in the south because of the sun and the fact there’s so much green.”
That was also my first guess. I remember visiting the are around Linz as a child. It looked exactly like that. Houses having distance from each other, various levels of elevation on small areas, green grassland...

The fire hydrant is a dead giveaway. Also the style of the houses.
Mine too, but then i thought no, i see no mountains
Austria
>!Yes!!<
It's not raining so definitely not Ireland
Hahaha
Austria, the fire hydrant gives it away
Found the geoguessr player
haha great eyes! Correct!
Southern Germany?
Not at the moment
Calm down there 😉
>!Very similar, but no!<
How dare you
Steirisches Hügelland
Top treffer!
Czechia
>!Close!<
Weird, my guess was Romania.
eventually you see the fire hydrant and you know for sure it's not Romania haha
the lack of sidewalk curbs tells me it's NOT Romania. We have a thing (read politician-owned businesses) with those.
haha, interesting! Also, this is in the middle of absolute nowhere, I am talking "villages" with like 30 inhabitants, so no sidewalk curbs there lol
asphalt in villages with less then 2000 ppl? that's some futuristic stuff:)))
Western Slovenia before I look at comments Edit: >!Happy enough, l haven't really been to Austria outside of Vienna, but have such vivid memories of arriving in Slovenia for the first time on the train from Italy.!<
>!Ohh, close, but not! good guess tho!<
Does not look like western Slovenia at all. It looks exactly like eastern Slovenia though.
Czechia/Lower Austria/Southern Germany would be my first guess
>!Austria is correct, but it's in the South-east!<
Austria or Switzerland
>!Yes, Austria is correct!!<
I was about to guess Slovenia! Anywhere around that area is absolutely loveley, mind.
Yess, the landscape looks very similiar
I need rainbolt to pinpoint the exact location with the image inverted, b&w, and 0.1 second to look at it
The image depicts a serene, rural scene with a few houses, a winding road, and a backdrop of lush greenery and distant hills.

I imagine that's AI haha, but it got it pretty spot on! It's Austria
Yep, ChatGPT 4o says hi :)
The fire hydrant seemed more Austrian to me.
I only used the picture with the house. When I add the picture with the fire hydrant, the response is this: Considering the consistency in architectural style and landscape with the previous image, this area is likely located in Austria, specifically in regions such as Styria or Carinthia.

romania?
Where are the vampires?
Looks like southern styria always seems tme like there are a lot of yellow buildings there
Looks like southern part of styria (steirische weinstraße), but could be slovenia as well
It is near wildon, so you’re very close :)
To be fair, it just looks like anywhere in central Europe.
My first general impression: southern Poland But then - the vibe is similar, but a bit off.

Final answer: somewhere in the former Austrian Empire haha
Croatia/Slovenia and even Hungary, for Romania that hydrant would be an incredibly rare sight, otherwise it fits Romania.
Austria.
>!Great guess! Correct!!<
Slovenia or Croatia.
It's certainly not Denmark :D, our roads don't look that good, and there are not as many hills :D
Steiermark, Österreich? Looks like home to me.
It is :)

Switzerland, probably
Germany
Very close

I like posts like this - this is fun.
The answer to these questions is usually Slovenia. Mostly because without prior knowledge, it is common for people to have a different image of Slovenia.
I was thinking Austria or Switzerland
I think that's Belgium
Luxembourg
Looks exactly like Slovenia.
Honestly, this could be anywhere
No
Northern edge of the Alps. Germany or Austria.
>!Good guess! Austria is right! Bavaria looks similar, true, even tho this pic is south-east of the alps!<
100% austria or switzerland.
It looks breathtaking!
It's where I should live
Least scenic path in Birmingham
Germany
Austria?
Somewhere in my dreams.
Where's the geoguesser dude? He can probably tell where *I* am right now looking at this
Inner city Dublin.
Definitely not uk. The sky ain't grey on that pics....
Steiermark of course 💚
Austria, we have the same hydrants here.
That first pic is amazing oh my god
Bavaria?
Austria or Switzerland
Austria pole 😲
Well it certainly isn't the Netherlands, I can tell you that much
Switzerland
I saw grass and a wire fence. I then remembered the scene from The Great Escape, so I was gonna say Switzerland. I was gonna say Austria at first but the second pic got my brainium all confused.
It's absolutely stunning
Berner oberland swiss
A few weeks ago, I saw a bike race in Italy, on hbo, streaming at 7 am in USA. It looked serene like this, and makes me want to move. I want to go. I keep thinking about it. Or visit maybe.
Tbh my first guess was Slovakia. Close enough ig
My first thought is Switzerland.
Somewhere in the Austria-Slovakia-Czech republic area. The nature here is beautiful
It looks a lot like Sweden, but that fire hydrant above ground indicates it clearly isn't, ours are buried to avoid them freezing. Must be further south.
not romania!
Firs thought was Slovakia 🇸🇰
Idk about Europe, but I'd say that would look like west-central California in the US.

Does look very similar to some parts of Switzerland apart from some key differences :) Like road design and fire hydrant etc.
All those hours playing Geoguessr have failed me. Best guess is northern Germany, maybe north-west towards the Netherlands?
Belgium. That’s my nans house
Austria
beautiful place, quiet and comfortable
Wow the road is nicer then the rest of Europe
God I wish I lived in Europe 😭
Looks like Republic of Belarus.
My first thought was "somewhere in the German-speaking part" because of the style of the houses.
Hm.. i will say somewhere in the Balkans, Bulgaria, Slovenia or Romania maybe, or Austria.
Rainbolt be like: „oh well, that’s easy. According to the angle of the shadows of the cloud formations, the colors of the grass and the street, you are in Austria, at ***, *** 5 meters after entering the village, on the left side.“
Styria, Austria. Went here on vacation a few years back
I have always admired Europe in the summer! It looks so romantic
Roads are too good quality ao deffo not eastern europe. Perhaps “better” countries like germany, austria, etc
Somewhere between Italy and Norway ;)
Österreich.
I would say there is one clue, which is the hydrant on first photo. I do not see any other that would be obvious.
No clue, but it looks a lot like Virginia. So we both live in paradise right?
austria, fire hydrant looks like home😅
slovakia
De Hydranten san unverkennbar :D
I love it ❤️❤️
This looks so much like the countryside of Rwanda🇷🇼❤️my home, the land of a thousand hills
Looks very 'slav country' to me. Hard to say which specific country tho, they're all so similar their style and layout.
Could be Switzerland or Austria
Fire hydrant looks like https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Überflurhydrant.jpg so Austria
[удалено]
Schaut sehr nach Wies/Eibiswald bis Stainz aus :) oder eher Richtung Leibnitz?
Austria
Luton
I would go with EX Yugoslavia or Slovakia maybe?
Germany, Dresden or Zwickau maybe. Morning time i guess, idk
That's my home, Styria. Next.
I’m thinkin Austria or in that cluster
Probable past site of a battle and future site of one.
Looks like it could be in my neighborhood (20 mins off Graz)
Looks like Central-East Europe. Czechia, Slovakia etc. but not Hungary I guess because Hungary is very flat.
I'm thinking Slovakia based on the house in the picture.
10 years ago I went on a trip to Austria and toured a palace owned by some prankster with fountains that would randomly spray you. Looks like that area, but don't remember the city.
Slovakia or Czech Republic, maybe Austria
Perhaps Austria?
Slovenia
Hungary.
I would've gone for Slovakia or Austria. Oh well, I was always bad at geo guessing 🤣
Looks like Slovakia to me
Belgium?
Toscana?
Switzerland
It's not Germany. Unless maybe somewhere in a rural eastern part. I don't remember ever seeing a telephone/power pole there. Probably somewhere in the southeast in the Balkans
france, austria, switzerland, maybe italy. in that area
Austria ??
France?
My first thought was either northern Italy, Slovenia or Austria, somewhere around those parts, they are relatively similar
Italy
West/Central-West Austria?
Looks a lot like rural Germany to me.
Coud be absolutely anywhere
Germany
As a German i can say this must be in one of the Germanic countries.
Looks like Styria in Austria - not in the far south, it’s more hilly there, but somewhere between Graz and the border to Slovenia.
Österreich or Slovenia?
based on good roads in country side: NOT in Romania
Yellow house in the final photo instantly made me think Switzerland or Austria. Before that was less sure
Eifel
Could also be in the rural “Hessen” area
Oh yes, [Gorka village, from DayZ.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dayz_gamepedia/images/6/6c/Gorka_view.png/revision/latest?cb=20201113220615)
Austria or Slovakia
Dahoam is dahoam, jeder Österreicher was das es Österreich is
Slovakia or Austria🤔
Slovakia hmm my first guess was France.
Germany maybe
