About location

Altenberg bei Linz sits on the rolling uplands of the Mühlviertel in Upper Austria, where fields and wooded lanes extend north of Linz. The municipality belongs to the rural hinterland of the Danube city, with scattered farms and residential areas set among gently changing ground rather than an urban core. Linz, on the Danube to the south, is Upper Austria’s capital and gives the area its strongest cultural and economic connection. Altenberg is a quieter counterpoint, with local roads running between agricultural land, hedgerows and small stands of deciduous trees. Its setting reveals the everyday character of the settled Mühlviertel countryside beyond Linz’s city streets.

Upper Austria
Region Upper Austria

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.

Country Austria

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.
