ハイダースホーフェンのおすすめツーリングルート

シュタイアーはオーストリアで最も美しい都市の一つです

独特の魅力があり、シンプルに素晴らしい

この聖堂は、私が知る数少ない聖ニコラウス・フォン・デア・フルー（スイスのオプヴァルデン準州の地名フルエリにちなむ）に捧げられた教会のひとつです。彼の名を冠した礼拝堂はもっとよく見かけます。しかし、聖人の名は、彼自身が使っていた「ブラザー・クラウス」というシンプルな名前で、はるかに有名です。彼は1417年から1487年まで生きました。隠者、神秘家、そして平和の仲介者として崇拝されています。ブラザー・クラウスの記念日は3月21日（彼の命日）です。彼はスイスの国民的聖人です。

The old town of Steyr is one of the most beautiful in Austria.

A magnificent view of St. Michael's Church

Steyr's Old Town is one of Austria's most atmospheric historic city centers. Situated at the confluence of the Enns and Steyr rivers, it combines a medieval urban structure with well-preserved Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque buildings. Around the town square with its magnificent burgher houses—including the famous Bummerlhaus—narrow lanes, courtyards, and squares unfold, reflecting the former prosperity of this iron-producing city. High above, Lamberg Castle sits atop the walls of the ancient Styraburg, the city's origin. A visit to the Old Town leads past characteristic facades, across bridges to the riverbanks, and to viewpoints offering particularly evocative vistas of the historic ensemble. Overall, Steyr's Old Town presents a harmonious blend of history, architecture, and picturesque urban ambiance.

The Memorial Tunnel in Steyr is a memorial site commemorating the Nazi era and, in particular, the forced labor at the former Steyr-Münichholz subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp. The exhibition is located in an approximately 140-meter-long air-raid shelter tunnel beneath Lamberg Castle, which was driven into the rock by concentration camp prisoners in 1943. In this original, preserved tunnel, the exhibition guides visitors through the years 1938 to 1945, using documents, photographs, and personal accounts to illustrate the profound impact of the armaments industry, forced labor, and persecution on life in Steyr. The deliberately simple and somber design evokes the confinement and atmosphere of the place, making the tunnel a central learning and memorial site used by many visitors and school groups to gain a deeper understanding of the local history of the Nazi period.

From the cycle path along the Enns River, there is a beautiful view of Steyr's old town and Lamberg Castle perched above it. Along the river, you can see the closely packed historic buildings, which rise in tiers from the riverbank, marking the transition from the river area to the old town. The castle sits on a raised position above the town and is clearly recognizable as the dominant structure from this perspective. Overall, Steyr is a worthwhile destination for a bike tour or a detour from the main route.
