View of Steyr Old Town from the Old Bridgehead
Highlight • Viewpoint
-The old head of the former bridge over the Enns, which used to connect the old town directly to the right bank of the Enns, offers a wonderful view of the "Skyline" of Steyr.
Benches invite you to linger.

View of Schloss Lamberg and Museumssteg
Highlight • Viewpoint
The mighty keep of the original fortress is still preserved today. In the 11th century the castle reached its importance as the residence of the Otakare. In 1727 the entire complex was destroyed in a catastrophic city fire in Steyr and rebuilt by the Counts of Lamberg as a representative baroque palace. The Lamberg'sche noble library and sandstone figures are located in the inner courtyard.

Pilgrimage Church Christkindl
Highlight • Religious Site
In 1695, the seriously ill tower keeper and bandmaster Ferdinand Sertl placed a small wax child Jesus in the hollow of a spruce tree. He went there several times a week to pray. When he was cured of epilepsy, so many pilgrims came that it became necessary to build a church. The name “Zum Christkindl unterm Himmel” was born. The current church was begun in 1702 by Giovanni Battista Carlone and completed by Jakob Prandtauer in 1708.
The figure of grace, a standing child Jesus made of wax and only 10 cm high, holding a cross and a crown of thorns in his hands, is now located at the high altar in a small shrine, above the tabernacle shaped like a globe.
