Pöstlingberg, Mountain peak with pilgrimage basilica in Linz, Austria
The 539-meter mountain features multiple walking paths leading to observation platforms with views of Linz and the Danube River below.
The Pöstlingbergbahn, constructed in 1898, maintains its status as the steepest adhesion railway in Europe, connecting central Linz to the summit.
The Grottenbahn attraction within the mountain presents miniature scenes of local folklore and a detailed model of Linz's main square from 1900.
Visitors can reach the summit via tram line 50 from Hauptplatz station, with services running daily from early morning until 10:30 PM.
The Hartlauer Photo Gallery at the peak presents rotating exhibitions of Austrian photography from April through November each year.
