Unterscharten usually refers to the Protestant parish church of Scharten in Upper Austria.

At 441 meters above sea level, it is the highest country inn in the Linz-Land district

Very good food and friendly staff

A nice place for a break. The chapel was completed in 1999 and consecrated in the same year by a Protestant and a Catholic priest - making it one of the few ecumenical chapels in Austria.

WAR CEMETERY Since Upper Austria was very far from the fronts in World War I, six large prisoner of war camps were built in this federal state. The heathland in Marchtrenk was very suitable for such a camp, i.e. there was hardly any agricultural yield and the gravel soil was very important for hygiene. In this k. u.k. Prisoner of war camps housed a maximum of 35,000 soldiers. The high number of war deaths is explained by the camp hospital. A maximum of around 2,100 sick people could be cared for here. However, this occupancy was never achieved. However, many died from their wounds, epidemics and tuberculosis, which was hardly treatable at the time. The following are buried in the cemetery: 1,393 Italians, 468 Russians, 10 Serbs, 1 Romanian, 18 deceased of unknown nationality. The cemetery is looked after by the “Black Cross”. In the middle there is an obelisk on which the deceased Italians are mainly commemorated. Today the war cemetery is a place of peace and also a stop on the “Marchtrenker Peace Trail” Source: City of Marchtrenk (Press & Public Relations Department, March 9, 2016)

As a memorial to the endless number of war dead, such places - usually referred to as "war cemeteries" or "soldiers' cemeteries" - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the many people buried here were by no means divorced in peace, but became victims of the war and an inhuman tyranny. The most important and at the same time everlasting function of the soldiers' or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and – every generation anew (!) – to remind people of the lasting preservation of peace.

Dishes from the Austrian cuisine can be ordered in this restaurant. Most visitors point out that the staff here are gracious. You will be satisfied with the spectacular service. In Gasthaus Schober, guests can enjoy a lovely ambience. Google rates (him, her, her, it) 4.5 stars so this is your place to have a good time.

Far away from the stress of city life and yet only a few kilometers outside - in a central location between Wels, Linz and Eferding. At 441 meters above sea level, it is the highest country inn in the Linz-Land district and, on a clear day, offers an impressive view far into the Mühlviertel.
