Spital am Pyhrn: Wurzeralm - Bergstation Wurzeralm 2, Stubwies
Among the places of Upper Austria, Spital am Pyhrn stands out for its setting beneath the limestone walls of the Warscheneck massif. The settlement lies in the Teichl valley near the Pyhrn Pass, a long-used crossing through the Northern Limestone Alps between Upper Austria and Styria. Above it, Wurzeralm is a broad alpine area of conifer forest, pasture and rocky terrain, developed for skiing and hiking and reached by a funicular from the valley. Spital am Pyhrn takes its name from a medieval hospital founded for travellers on the pass; its former collegiate monastery remains a defining part of the settlement. The contrast between the compact valley community and the high karst country gives this part of the Pyhrn-Priel area a distinct alpine character.

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.
