Bad Kreuzen: Kollmitzberg
Kollmitzberg occupies a wooded ridge above the Danube in the borderland between Upper and Lower Austria. The name denotes not only a settlement but also a rural area of farms, scattered homes and woodland rising from the river corridor near Ardagger. Its key cultural landmark is the pilgrimage church of St Ottilia, long associated with the veneration of the patron saint of eyesight. The surrounding slopes mark a transition from the broad Danube corridor to the more folded, forested country north of the river. Kollmitzberg retains a distinctly rural character, while the Danube remains the historic route connecting this part of 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.
