Ottnang am Hausruck

Ottnang am Hausruck is best known within Upper Austria for giving its name to the Ottnangian, an Early Miocene stage used in Central Paratethys geology. The market town lies amid the rolling Hausruck hills of the Hausruckviertel, between the Inn and Traun river systems in western Upper Austria. Its surroundings formed part of the wider Hausruck lignite district, where coal mining was long an important local industry. Farms, woodland and scattered settlements now define the area’s rural character, while Ottnang’s geological name remains familiar far beyond Austria.
