Kematen an der Krems
Kematen an der Krems lies along the Krems valley, where rolling Upper Austrian farmland and wooded rises frame a compact settlement. The municipality occupies the Kremstal south of Linz, in a transition zone between the Traun plain and the northern foothills. Fields, orchards and detached homes extend across the gently folded terrain, while the Krems forms the area’s geographic thread. This is a residential and agricultural part of Upper Austria rather than an urban centre, closely connected to the larger towns of the region. Kremsmünster Abbey, founded in 777 in the nearby market town of Kremsmünster, remains an important cultural reference point for the valley’s long-settled landscape.

Kematen an der Krems has served as a market town in Upper Austria’s Traunviertel since the late Middle Ages. The River Krems gives the community its name and shapes the gently rolling Kremstal, a settled valley landscape of farmland, homes and small businesses. Located south of Linz and north of the Alpine foothills, Kematen is part of the Linz-Land district while retaining a distinctly local centre around its parish and market-town traditions. Its position in the Upper Austrian central region makes it a useful point for understanding the transition from the Danube plain towards the interior valleys.

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.
