Lower Austria Alpine Foreland

To the south of the Danube the land rises into the Alpine foreland of Lower Austria, with the Ötscher and the Gemeindealpe, the Gippel and the Göller, the Hochkar and the Dürrenstein. Excellent roads ascend the valleys of the Ybbs, Erlauf, Pielach and Traisen into this beautiful region, which can also be reached from the east by way of the Triesting or Piesting valleys.
