Hill Country (Texas) - Wink Travel Guide

The Hill Country is a region of the state of Texas in the United States of America. It has some of the most interesting history of the state. The cities here date to Spanish and Mexican days, with many beautiful Spanish missions dotting the area.

The terrain is hilly and dry, cut by spring-fed rivers, with the beautiful Texas live oak providing occasional shade. The Texas Hill Country is an area around Edwards Aquifer that demonstrates karst topography and a wide range of wildlife.

It was originally settled by Mexican and German immigrants, and a visitor will note the distinct influence of both cultures in the local life. Most cities and towns are small, there are many parks and open areas, and an endless list of local experiences.
