Traun: Webcam - wetter-linz.at

Tucked along the Traun River in Upper Austria, Traun is a place whose character is shaped by the river corridor and its position south of Linz. The waterway connects the town with the Salzkammergut lake district upstream and the Danube at Linz downstream, placing Traun on one of the state’s major river routes. Schloss Traun, a historic castle complex near the centre, gives the town a direct link to its older fabric. Oedter See provides a local waterside recreation area, while the surrounding development reflects Traun’s role in the urban corridor between Linz and Wels. It is a practical base for exploring Upper Austria, from riverside routes to Linz’s cultural institutions. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Traun and Upper Austria.

Formed around the Danube and Enns corridors, Upper Austria developed into one of Austria’s nine federal states. Linz, its capital on the Danube, combines a major industrial tradition with cultural institutions including the Ars Electronica Center. North of the river, the Mühlviertel rolls towards the Czech border; southward, the terrain rises into the Alpine foothills and the lake country of the Salzkammergut. Hallstatt, beside Hallstätter See, is among the region’s best-known historic settlements and lends its name to the Hallstatt period of early Iron Age Europe.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
