The charming town is beautifully set in an undulating rural landscape of trees, forests and brooks, and is ideal for hiking and cycling.

Many quiet backcountry cycleways and footpaths crisscross the area and bring visitors close to nature.

Especially popular is the "European Geology Trail". From Schartner ridge you enjoy sweeping views of the Alps and the scenic Mühlviertel.

The local restaurants serve hearty country fares in a friendly atmosphere.

Great shopping is found in Wels, 8 kilometers away.
