Pochlarn

Few towns in Lower Austria have a history as closely tied to the Roman Danube frontier as Pöchlarn. Set on the south bank of the Danube in the Wachau–Nibelungengau area, it occupies the site of Arelape, a Roman settlement and military station on the river boundary of the empire. Pöchlarn is also the birthplace of expressionist painter Oskar Kokoschka, whose life and work are commemorated at the Oskar Kokoschka Museum. The town’s compact centre and riverside setting make it a useful stop on journeys through the Danube valley. Explore further points of interest via webcams across Pöchlarn and Lower Austria.
