Gemeinde Ybbsitz straddles the Kleine Ybbs in Lower Austria’s Eisenwurzen region, where the watercourse once supplied the power that supported local ironworking. Set among the foothills of the Ybbstal Alps, the market town belongs to the historic Austrian Iron Road, an area shaped for centuries by ore, charcoal and forge work. Its smithing tradition remains central to local identity: FeRRUM – world of iron explores this industrial heritage, while the Schmiedemeile recalls the workshops that made Ybbsitz a noted centre of the craft.
