Steyr

Two rivers, the Steyr and Enns, converge near the center of this city, creating a natural boundary between different neighborhoods at 310 meters elevation.

The settlement, founded around 980 by the counts of Styria, developed from iron ore mining and transformed into a manufacturing center during the 18th century.

The Gothic Bummerlhaus building demonstrates the architectural excellence of Central Europe through its preserved medieval structure and decorative elements from different periods.

The Museum Industrielle Arbeitswelt, located in a former factory, presents exhibitions about the regional development of manufacturing and labor movements.

The Steyrtal-Museumsbahn narrow-gauge steam train operates through 17 kilometers of track, connecting the city center to the village of Grünberg.
