Pöstlingberg, Residential district on a hill in Linz, Austria

The Pöstlingberg district extends across an elevated area with the Danube River flowing below, featuring numerous walking paths and observation points throughout its territory.

During the 19th century, Pöstlingberg transformed from an undeveloped hilltop into a residential zone where wealthy citizens of Linz constructed their summer houses.

The pilgrimage basilica dedicated to the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary stands at the summit, representing a significant religious landmark for the local community.

Visitors reach Pöstlingberg via the Pöstlingbergbahn, a mountain tram that departs from Linz main square and climbs the steepest adhesion railway track in Europe.

The Grottenbahn attraction features the Dragon Express, which takes passengers through underground caves filled with scenes from fairy tales and miniature models of Linz.
