Anyone travelling from the Czech Republic, Slovakia or eastern Austria towards the south or the Adriatic usually takes the S10 and A7 - right through the middle of the beautiful Mühlviertel and the cultural city of Linz. But instead of simply driving through, it's worth taking a look to the right and left: Just a few minutes from the motorway, green hills, tranquil forests and historic towns await - perfect for a refreshing break or a spontaneous short holiday. There's no summer traffic jam here, just cool views and genuine hospitality - from Wullowitz to Linz.
Travelling on the S10/A7 is not only fast, but also congestion-free and with a view of the gentle Mühlviertel hills. So why drive through? The most beautiful discoveries are often just a short drive away.
Many guests who only wanted to stop here for a short time soon return - or spontaneously extend their stay. Because between forest and inn, hills and city strolls , Upper Austria unfolds its very own charm.
If you prefer to enjoy pure nature, splash around in crystal-clear lakes or stroll through old town streets instead of being stuck in traffic jams, Upper Austria is the place for you. Route-friendly, traffic jam-free, surprisingly beautiful. No detours, no overcrowded places - but real experiences, delicious specialities, fantastic nature and the certainty that the south can wait. Because what was planned as a short break quickly turns into a real holiday in Upper Austria. If you add a few more days, you will discover the nearby Salzkammergut with its mountains and lakes, the mystical and idyllic Mühlviertel the pulsating provincial capital Linz, the varied region of Wels the romantic Steyr and the south with its unspoilt nature in the Kalkalpen National Park or the west between the Inn and Hausruckwald.
