Pyhrn – Eisenwurzen is a region in the south-east of Upper Austria .

geography

The region includes the Kremstal , the Steyrtal and the Ennstal , in a broader sense also the Almtal to the west. The area forms the more mountainous southern part of the Steyr-Kirchdorf region , which is the southeast of the Traunviertel , and represents the border region to the Lower Austrian Mostviertel and the Styrian regions of Liezen and Hochsteiermark .

It is named after the Pyhrnpass with the motorway ( A9 ) and the cross-border Eisenwurzen east of the Enns. The most important mountains here are the Warscheneckgruppe and Prielgruppe (eastern part of the Dead Mountains ), Reichraminger Hintergebirge , Sengsengebirge , the Haller Mauern and the eastern mountains of the Ybbstal Alps with the Voralpe , the triangle with the neighboring federal states. The region is next to the Salzkammergut (to which the Almtal is still included) the second region of Upper Austria in the Alps. The tourist center of the area is now the Kalkalpen National Park .

Former tourist region

The region was 2000 with the Oö. Tourism municipalities and tourism regions ordinance established as a tourism region . This also included the Bad Hall spa association , the Windischgarstner Tal tourism association and the Weyer tourism association . As early as 2003, however, it was divided into the five sub-regions Almtal , Bad Hall-Kremsmünster , Pyhrn-Priel , the Steyrtal National Park and the Ennstal National Park with the ordinance on the establishment of tourism associations . The foreland and the four valleys had - despite the national park founded in 1997 - too different strategies: the Almtal with gentle tourism and commitment in the Salzkammergut, the Kremstal with the focus on the Hinterstoder ski area , the Steyrtal with the national park and the Ennstal with its Orientation to the Gesäuse and the early industrial tradition of the Eisenstrasse and Eisenwurzen. The national park region was retained as a joint regional tourism conference (in accordance with Section 25a Upper Austrian Tourism Law) for the Enns and Steyrtal valleys with Bad Hall – Kremsmünster and the city of Steyr as partners.

The tourism region included Adlwang , Asten , Bad Hall , Edlbach , Enns , Großraming , Grünburg , Hinterstoder , Kematen , Kirchdorf , Klaus an der Pyhrnbahn , Kremsmünster , Laussa , Losenstein , Micheldorf , Molln , Pfarrkirchen , Reichraming , Rosenau , Roßleithen , Sattledt , Schlierbach , Sierning , Spital , St. Florian , St. Ulrich , Steinbach , Ternberg , Vorderstoder , Weyer-Land , Weyer-Markt and Windischgarsten .
