Seitenstetten: Flugplatz Seitenstetten (LOLT)
Among the airfields of Lower Austria, Flugplatz Seitenstetten stands out for its position in the cultivated, gently rolling countryside of the Mostviertel. This part of the state lies near the Ybbs valley, where fields, orchards and small settlements form the landscape between the Danube lowlands and the northern Alpine foothills. The nearby market town of Seitenstetten is closely associated with Seitenstetten Abbey, a Benedictine monastery founded in 1112. Its extensive Baroque complex remains a regional landmark. Mostviertel takes its name from Most, the local cider traditionally made from apples and pears, and its agricultural character continues to shape the area around the airfield.

Lower Austria is best known within Austria for the Wachau, the UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape along the Danube. Austria’s largest federal state extends from the Bohemian Massif in the north to the limestone Alps around Rax and Schneeberg in the south, with vineyards, forests and agricultural districts between them. St. Pölten is the provincial capital, while Melk Abbey rises above the Danube as one of the country’s foremost Baroque monuments. Vienna is a separate federal state, though it is enclosed by Lower Austria. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on the Wachau and Lower Austria.

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.
