St. Florian: Weilling

Sankt Florian lies along the Ipfbach stream, amid the gently rolling farmland between the Traun and Enns rivers in Upper Austria. The town is defined by St Florian Abbey, an imposing Baroque complex inhabited by Augustinian Canons and one of the region’s foremost religious landmarks. Composer Anton Bruckner worked here as an organist; his grave lies in the abbey crypt beneath the celebrated Bruckner Organ. The monastery’s library, courtyards and church give the settlement a distinctly scholarly and ecclesiastical character, while Linz is close by to the northwest.

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.
