Kefermarkt: VK_S10_014,160-F1-FL
Few places in Upper Austria have a history as closely tied to late-Gothic sacred art as Kefermarkt. This Mühlviertel market town lies by the Feldaist, amid the gently rolling rural country of northern Upper Austria. Its Parish Church of St Wolfgang safeguards the Kefermarkt Altarpiece, a monumental carved work from the late 15th century and among Austria’s leading examples of late-Gothic sculpture. The settlement developed as a market centre, and its compact core remains distinct from the transport corridor running through the nearby landscape. Kefermarkt is a worthwhile stop for travellers interested in medieval woodcarving and the agricultural character of the Mühlviertel.

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.
