Then your route takes you via the **A8 - Innkreis motorway**, right through the middle of Upper Austria. What many people don't know: Real holiday highlights await you directly along the route - without detours and without any traffic jams. Treat yourself to a break with a view: **thermal spas, monasteries, natural paradises, enchanting towns and regional cuisine** invite you to take a relaxing break or a few days' holiday. Because Upper Austria is not just a journey - it is **a destination full of variety, enjoyment and relaxation**. Travelling from Bavaria? The first holiday starts right after the border ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Travelling to Upper Austria via **Passau** is the best way to get that holiday feeling right away. Instead of routine rest stops, you will find nature, culinary delights and hospitality - for example in the baroque **Reichersberg Abbey**, which delights visitors with its history and flavours. Or head a little further south to the **Lower Inn European nature reserve**, home to more than 300 bird species. Or take a dip in the **Therme Geinberg**, which offers thermal spa luxury and Caribbean flair. Relaxed breaks between Suben, Ried and Wels ------------------------------------------- The region around the A8 motorway surprises with its diversity, but also with regional delicacies in the inns of the **Innviertel**. **Ried im Innkreis** attracts visitors with its city flair and shopping. Pure bathing fun awaits the whole family at the **thermal spa in Bad Schallerbach**. In between, head to **Schmieding Zoo** for a meet & greet with giraffes & co. before breathing in the breath of history in the **city of Wels** and strolling through galleries and shopping streets. And all this just minutes away from the motorway. 1. 2.
