Upper Austria – From the Böhmerwald to the Dachstein
Upper Austria has so many wonderful attributes to enjoy, especially when only considering the diverse landscapes. The Danube valley offers impressive castles and monasteries, dense forests, and even planes, which all charm guests with their unique beauty. Contrasting landscapes delight guests with rolling hills and traditional farmhouses as well as majestic mountains and picturesque lakes in the Salzkammergut region. Explore the beautiful landscapes of nature, or immerse yourself in the historic cities such as Linz, which had been awarded the title of Europe's capital city of culture in 2009, and other cities with a unique charm such as Steyr, Schärding, Gmunden, and Bad Ischl.
There are many activities to enjoy such as wonderful bike rides, well-deserved spa holidays, hiking tours up to lush alpine pastures and to the top of mountains with spectacular views, and many fascinating and interesting cultural and traditional celebrations, which always delight locals and international visitors alike in Upper Austria. Active holiday makers and guests who love sports can choose from further exciting activities such as riding through the countryside on horseback, sailing and even diving at some of the stunning lakes of the Salzkammergut, and playing a round of golf at one of the many golf courses here.
And during the snowy winter months, there is great fun to be had on the slopes and tracks with snowboards, skis, and cross-country skis.
