Gaflenz

Few settlements in Upper Austria have a history as closely tied to the Eisenwurzen’s ironworking traditions as Gaflenz. The municipality lies in the foothills of the Ybbstaler Alps, where the Gaflenzbach runs through a wooded valley before joining the Enns near Weyer. This borderland between Upper and Lower Austria formed part of the wider Eisenwurzen, a region long shaped by ore, forests and water-powered metalworking. Gaflenz’s parish church and compact village centre provide a settled counterpoint to the surrounding slopes, while routes through the valley connect it with the Enns valley and alpine country.
