Why Pöstlingberg matters

The Pöstlingberg is Linz's lookout, with a baroque pilgrimage church on top and a view over the Danube. A mountain tram, a very steep line, climbs from the city. There's also a fairytale grotto railway.

Talking points

  • The tram is very steep.
  • A twin-towered church crowns the hill.
  • A grotto railway entertains kids.
