Strass im Attergau: VK_A01_243,700-F2-FL
The wooded foothills north of Lake Attersee define the setting of Strass im Attergau — forested slopes and rolling ground shape this municipality in Upper Austria’s Attergau region. The A1 Westautobahn runs through the area as Austria’s principal east–west motorway, linking Vienna and Salzburg; its broad carriageways, embankments and noise barriers form a markedly modern element in the rural setting. Strass lies north of Lake Attersee, the largest lake wholly within Austria and a defining feature of the Salzkammergut. The lake also has a place in Austrian art history: Gustav Klimt made many summer stays on its shores, producing a group of landscapes there. The surrounding Attergau combines settled farmland, woodland and transport infrastructure rather than a single resort centre.

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.
