A castle worth seeing with a view over the Trattnach valley

Ried is situated in the heart of the Innviertel hill country, in a depression of the Alpine foothills north of the Hausruck Forest. The town's name derives from the Middle High German word "Riet" (also: "Rieth," "Reet," "Rohr," and similar terms), meaning reeds growing on riverbanks and marshy ground. A spot where the gradient of the two rivers, Oberach and Breitsach, slowed and saturated the soil gave the town its name. The two rivers converge north of the old town to form the Rieder Bach, a stream that flows for 2.6 kilometers before emptying into the Antiesen River outside the town limits. Ried im Innkreis lies at an altitude of 433 meters. It extends 3.2 kilometers from north to south and 3.6 kilometers from west to east, covering a total area of 6.7 square kilometers.

The Roman Catholic parish church of Raab is located in the village of Raab, part of the market town of Raab in the Schärding district of Upper Austria. Dedicated to the Archangel Michael, the church belongs to the Andorf deanery in the Diocese of Linz. The church is a listed building.

Raab Castle offers a fine example of how most of the small moated castles of the Innviertel region were built.

The moated castle with its defensive moat has existed since the 9th century. From 1850 to 2002, it housed the district court.

The circular tour starts at Raab Water Castle.
