OBEROSTERREICH UPPER AUSTRIA Verlag Christian Brandstatter
Barbara Sternthal
Upper Austria is a country of many facets: On the one hand, throngs of visitors flock the Salzkammergut region, obviously attracted by the charms and loveliness of its landscapes as well as by the recreational opportunities of its lakeside resorts. On the other hand, it is replete with hidden beauty - examples are the Muhlviertel and Eisenwuren regions with their crystal streams, dashing rivers, and picturesque valleys. But traveling Upper Austria for its rich heritage and genuine cultural jewels is just as rewarding: There are fascinating Romanesque frescos at Lambach Abbey and traces of Celtic and Illyrian civilizations are found throughout the Salzkammergut. Upper Austria also boasts magnificent sites of the Habsburg Empire and three of the most wonderful winged altars of the Gothic period. The towns of Scharding, Enns and Steyr rank among the most delightful places in the country. All these colorful aspects are rendered in a palette of outstanding images taken by Austria's most renowned photo artists. The author's informative, insightful, and intriguing descriptions make for a good read.
