Places and people in 360° Alpenland
Encounter and origin. Distance and closeness.
In 360° Alpenland in Upper Austria, special moments are created where landscape and lifestyle intertwine. Between the mountains of Pyhrn and Priel, the tranquil forests of the Kalkalpen National Park and the historic places in Steyr, people shape their places - and vice versa. Alpine farming is not staged here, but lived. Hut hosts welcome hikers after the ascent, tell them about summer on the mountain and serve what the region has to offer.
In Bad Hall, warm thermal water has been flowing from the depths for centuries. It provides space for mindfulness and is part of a health culture that can still be felt today. Around the springs, the spa park, thermal baths and conversations on the bench in the greenery combine to create a quiet togetherness.
This proximity is also evident in the towns. In the 1,000-year-old town of Steyr, town houses from different eras meet workshops where crafts are passed on. Culture, markets and events create spaces for dialogue - between guests and locals, between past and present.
Travelling through 360° Alpenland means discovering places not only through paths, but also through encounters. Hiking along the rivers Enns, Steyr and Krems, taking a break on a mountain pasture or on a guided tour through the historic city centre, you can feel what Upper Austria is all about: down-to-earthness, openness and the good feeling of being welcome. This turns a nature holiday into a cultural journey - supported by people who live their homeland with attitude.
