Altenmarkt an der Triesting: Hocheck

Gemeinde Altenmarkt an der Triesting lies along the Triesting River in Lower Austria, and its narrow valley setting has concentrated settlements, roads and farmland beside the watercourse. The municipality stands in the southern Vienna Woods, a wooded upland area southwest of Vienna that gives the locality a firmly rural character. Its leading historic landmark is the former Benedictine Abbey of Klein-Mariazell, founded in 1136; its Romanesque church recalls the monastic institutions that once shaped the valley. Altenmarkt is a practical starting point for exploring local routes through the Triestingtal and its neighbouring communities.

Lower Austria is best known within Austria for the Wachau, the UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape along the Danube. Austria’s largest federal state extends from the Bohemian Massif in the north to the limestone Alps around Rax and Schneeberg in the south, with vineyards, forests and agricultural districts between them. St. Pölten is the provincial capital, while Melk Abbey rises above the Danube as one of the country’s foremost Baroque monuments. Vienna is a separate federal state, though it is enclosed by Lower Austria. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on the Wachau and Lower 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.
