Ried in der Riedmark: Mauthausener Straße - Hochstraß - B123
Ried in der Riedmark has served as a farming settlement in Upper Austria’s Mühlviertel since the Middle Ages. Its setting on the rolling uplands of the Bohemian Massif is shaped by cultivated fields, strips of woodland and dispersed homes rather than a compact town centre. The B123, called Mauthausener Straße on this stretch, is an important local road through Hochstraß and links the settlement with the wider district. Mauthausen, on the Danube farther south, is home to the Mauthausen Memorial on the site of the former Nazi concentration camp, preserving the memory of its prisoners and victims. Ried’s road landscape reflects the everyday rural side of Upper Austria, where agriculture, forest and regional transport meet.

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.
