Enns: VK_A01_156,774-V0-RP
Enns has served as a Danube trading town in Upper Austria since the Middle Ages. Its historic centre stands beside the River Enns, shortly before that river joins the Danube, while the former Roman settlement of Lauriacum lies in the Lorch district. Lauriacum developed into an important legionary base on Rome’s Danube frontier, and its archaeological legacy is presented at the Museum Lauriacum. In 1212 Enns received town privileges, a milestone often cited in its claim to be Austria’s oldest town. The 60-metre City Tower, built as a watchtower in the 16th century, is the central landmark of the old town, whose squares and streets retain a distinctly medieval scale.

Tucked along the Enns River in eastern Upper Austria, Enns is a town whose character is shaped by its position close to the Danube and its Roman foundations. Known as Lauriacum in antiquity, it developed beside a legionary base on the Danube frontier; the Roman Museum Lauriacum keeps that chapter at the centre of the local story. Enns received town rights in 1212 and is widely regarded as Austria’s oldest town. The broad Hauptplatz, watched over by the Stadtturm, links the historic core to everyday cafés and shops, while the Basilica of St Lawrence recalls the importance of the former Roman settlement.

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.
