Amstetten

Built around a medieval market settlement, Amstetten grew into a regional rail, commercial and administrative centre in Lower Austria’s Mostviertel. The city lies in the gentle foothills north of the Alps, close to the Ybbs River and between the Danube valley and the uplands leading towards the Eisenwurzen. Amstetten station is an important stop on Austria’s Westbahn route between Vienna and Salzburg, a role that has long linked the town to the country’s main east–west corridor. Within the municipality, the historic district of Ulmerfeld preserves Ulmerfeld Castle, a former medieval fortress later reshaped as a Renaissance residence. Mostviertel is associated with pear orchards and its traditional pear cider, Most. Browse webcams around Amstetten and the Mostviertel to see how the city connects with its wider region.
