Brunn: VK_A01_056,515-F1-FL

Among the settlements of Lower Austria, Brunn stands out for its rural Mostviertel setting southeast of St Pölten. Fields and gently rolling ground place it in the transition between the Traisen valley and the lower Alpine foreland, rather than in Austria’s high mountain country. The Traisen flows through nearby St Pölten, Lower Austria’s provincial capital since 1986; its compact old centre provides a cultural reference point for the wider area. Brunn represents the quieter countryside around the state capital. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Brunn and Lower Austria.

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.
