Historic abbeys abound in the province: Abbey of St. Florian, outside Linz, the province’s largest abbey and an outstanding example of baroque architecture; Lambach Abbey, outside Wels, a Benedictine abbey founded in 1056; and Kremsmunster Abbey, near Bad Hall, a Benedictine abbey from 777, noted for its famed fish pond and Hall of the Emperors.
You’ll find most hotels in the Salzkammergut region, but in every town and village are one or two moderately priced to inexpensive inns. There are few deluxe accommodations here, although several old castles have been turned into romantic lodges. Most hotels around the lakes are open only in the summer. Parking is rarely a problem in these places, and, unless otherwise noted, you park for free.
May is an ideal time to visit. These areas tend to be overrun with visitors, especially Germans, in the peak months of July and August.
Many North Americans aren’t familiar with the ski areas of Upper Austria, as they lie for the most part in the southeastern corner. The Dachstein is a major ski area – and the Dachstein Caves are a spectacular natural attraction. If you like to ski and don’t demand massive facilities and a big night scene, you’ll find Upper Austria’s emerging ski resorts far less expensive than the more popular and frequented resorts in Tyrol and Land Salzburg.
