Sandl

Sandl straddles the watershed between the Danube and Elbe basins in Upper Austria’s Mühlviertel, a high borderland position that has made forests and cross-border routes central to local life. The settlement stands near the Czech frontier amid the rolling, wooded uplands of the Bohemian Massif. The Maltsch, which later joins the Vltava, rises nearby, connecting this Austrian interior with Bohemia’s wider river network. Sandl is especially associated with Hinterglasmalerei, a reverse-glass painting tradition practised here since the 18th century; the Hinterglasmuseum preserves this local craft. Winter brings Nordic skiing to the plateau, while country roads suit cycling and walks in warmer months. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Sandl and the Mühlviertel.
