Horn: Stephansberg
Stephansberg occupies a gently elevated site in Horn, in Lower Austria’s Waldviertel. At its centre stands the Stephanskirche, Horn’s parish church, accompanied by the walled cemetery that gives this quarter a distinctive outline. Below, the town extends across the valley of the Taffa, a small river that flows through Horn before joining the Kamp. Red-tiled roofs, close-set homes and the church tower reflect the scale of a long-established regional town rather than a resort. Horn is the administrative centre of its district, while its compact centre preserves the character of a historic Lower Austrian market town.

Horn occupies the Taffa valley in Lower Austria’s Waldviertel, a rolling region of granite uplands between the Danube and the Czech border. As the administrative centre of the Horn district, the town is a useful base for exploring the northern part of the state while retaining a compact historic core. The Höbarthmuseum preserves archaeological material from the Waldviertel and reflects the area’s long settlement history. Horn is also associated with Allegro Vivo, a chamber-music festival that brings summer concerts to venues across the Waldviertel.

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.
