About location

Schörfling am Attersee has served as a lakeside settlement in Upper Austria since the early Middle Ages. The municipality stretches from working farmland and the A1 Westautobahn to the shore of Attersee, Austria’s largest lake wholly within its borders. Its lakeside district of Kammer am Attersee is associated with Gustav Klimt, who spent summer periods in the area and painted several landscapes here. The lake’s long, narrow basin is framed by the foothills of the Salzkammergut, while Schörfling’s position near its northern end connects it with the wider Attersee holiday region. It is a practical, lived-in part of the lake district, where transport routes, agricultural land and access to the water meet.

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.
