Schärding, Medieval trading town in Upper Austria, Austria.

The Silberzeile at Stadtplatz presents a collection of gabled houses with painted facades in various colors aligned along the central square.

The settlement, first mentioned as Scardinga in 806 AD, developed into a trade center for salt, timber, wine, and textiles under Bavarian Wittelsbach rule until 1779.

The buildings in the central square display different colors that indicated their purpose to residents, with yellow marking the town hall and green for pharmacies.

Located on the Inn River bordering Germany, Schärding offers river cruises and walking paths along a 3-kilometer riverside promenade from the old town pier.

The Wassertor gate features markings that document the water levels from past floods, providing a historical record of natural events in the region.
