In Steyr the river Steyr and the Enns unify them and flows in the direction of the Danube in an unhurried way.

Itinerary at a glance

The mountainous landscapes of Salzburg and Styria transform into flatter terrain in Upper Austria. The Enns River flows through a spectacular gorge in the Gesäuse region, and in the museums of Steyr and Enns, you can immerse yourself in the history.

Individual arrival and handing out of travel documents. Take time for a short walk in Radstadt “the old city of the mountains”.

Follow the still narrow River Enns to Styria and marvel at the breath taking Dachstein South Wall, before you arrive in the ski world cup town Schladming. After a short, ascent you continue through the Valley till you arrive to Gröbming.

Endangered species like lynx and eagles are native here.For the 19 km/500 hm ascent from St. Gallen to the Mooshöhe, take the included bus shuttle.

In the years the Enns was a concernment for the iron trade. With brails they shiped the raw ore the craftsman for knifes and so called Feitel (a special clasp knife). There are a lot of museums which makes this come alive.

Because of the confluence with the river Steyr the Enns sedate to a handsome stream, which pass sedately the same-named town. Enns is own of the oldest towns in Austria, which was still settled by the Celts and Romans. The museum Lauriacum represent this era.
