Neustift im Muhlkreis: Engelhartszell
Few places in Upper Austria have a history as closely tied to navigation on the Danube as Neustift im Mühlkreis. The municipality lies in the Mühlviertel beside the Schlögener Schlinge, a broad river loop cutting through the wooded heights of the Bohemian Massif. This section of the Danube long posed a demanding passage for boatmen and is now travelled by excursion vessels and cyclists on the Danube Cycle Path. Nearby Schlögen is associated with a Roman fort that stood on the Danube frontier, part of the frontier system known as the Danube Limes. Neustift’s farms, small settlements and forested hills lend this river corridor a distinctly rural 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.
