Schwarzenberg am Bohmerwald: Schwarzenbergbahn Talstation

Schwarzenberg am Böhmerwald lies in the upper valley of the Große Mühl, where the wooded ridges of the Bohemian Forest meet Austria’s border with the Czech Republic. This small Upper Austrian settlement belongs to the Mühlviertel, a region of high forest, scattered farms and long-established ties across the border. The Schwarzenberg Canal, built between 1789 and 1822, is a defining landmark of the surrounding area: it once carried timber from the Vltava basin into the Danube drainage system. Walking and cycling routes now follow parts of this former timber-transport corridor through the forest.

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.
