The town of Enns is considered Austria's oldest town and boasts a rich history dating back to Roman times. The town square, with its 60-meter-high town tower from the 16th century, is the visible centerpiece, surrounded by historic town houses, the Baroque Marienbrunnen fountain, and numerous cafés with cozy outdoor seating. Enns combines medieval flair with modern quality of life and is today an attractive place for culture, events, and enjoyable breaks – especially for cyclists traveling along the Enns Cycle Path or the Danube Cycle Path. Benches, bike parking, and regional restaurants invite you to linger.

Enns is the successor town of Lauriacum, which was elevated to city status in 212.

Enns is considered the oldest town in Austria. Very pretty, nice to walk around and have a meal at the main square.

Nice here, but very noisy due to the main road

An impressive facility and also an impressive building. The Abwinden-Asten power plant is a run-of-river power plant, belongs to the Austrian Danube power plants and was built between 1976 and 1979. Nine sets of machines in the machine house supply electricity to the public power grid. The standard working capacity is 995 million kWh per year.

From the Danube Cycle Path, an impressive view opens up of the Linz Industrial Park – one of Austria's most important industrial areas and a key economic driver for the city of Linz. Numerous companies, primarily from the chemical and plastics industries, are located here, covering an area of approximately one square kilometer. Thanks to its excellent transport connections – with direct access to the motorway and rail network as well as the Danube tank port – the chemical park plays a crucial role in the country's industrial infrastructure. Despite its industrial backdrop, Linz boasts a lovingly preserved old town, modern cultural offerings, and superb cycle paths along the Danube. This section of the Danube Cycle Path only briefly passes by the industrial facilities, but offers a fascinating contrast between nature, technology, and urban development – typical of the multifaceted city of Linz.
