Upper Austria is the land of beer, bread and craftsmanship. It is typical of Upper Austria to toast with a regionally brewed beer at the pub table, to go on a herb hike together and to invite guests to enjoy Stanglfisch (fish on a stick) on the lakeshore. Between the granite highlands of the Bohemian Massif, the Danube and the urban metropolitan area of Linz, between the mountains and lakes of the Salzkammergut to high alpine landscapes - being close is a promise worth discovering here.
From the oldest salt mine in the world to fly-fishing - the culinary arts in Upper Austria are not only something to taste, but also to experience. And the best thing about it is: neither the holiday pictures nor the cuisine need a filter here. Because even when it comes to cooking, Upper Austria's chefs focus on the real, the honest.
