Ottensheim/OÖ (10 km from Linz)

Market square | Linzer Straße | Amtshaus event hall


Fine ceramics using the raku technique | high-quality jewellery design made from precious metals | individual fashion and exquisite handbags | colourful unique felt items | delicate porcelain bowls | summery linen skirts | expressive hand puppets with colourful robes | handmade papers and individually designed pieces of paper | filigree glass objects. The varied supporting programme promises entertainment for the whole family. The Ottensheim puppet theatre [isipisi] invites all theatre lovers aged four and over to the hall of the Gasthaus zur Post for its play "Post from Africa", a combination of puppet theatre, shadow theatre and drama. The music has not been imported this year, but hired locally. On Saturday afternoon, Melanie Stiftinger, accompanied by Paul Slaviczek on guitar and Gabriel Haider on percussion, will let her voice resound with heart and soul. On Sunday afternoon, the Ottensheim quartet "La Boheim" - Rudi and Maria Liedl, Silvia Fuchshuber and Elfi Hausknotz - will sing exquisite songs from the world of chanson.

There is also no shortage of opportunities to get creative. T-shirts or bags can be printed in the sewing or screen printing workshop. Individual favourite clothes for the summer are created almost in the blink of an eye under expert supervision.

Refreshments and refreshments are provided by the culinary specialities of the surrounding cafés and restaurants. Latte macchiato, vanilla ice cream and strawberry tarts are ideal for a break in between.
At the start of its second decade, the Ottensheim market for women's handicrafts once again presents a colourful hustle and bustle in the atmospheric, historic setting of the market town.
Ottensheim and the world will be delighted if you leave your car at home and make use of public transport and/or your muscles.
