The magic valley is next to its western neighbor Friesenegg the only part of Leondingen that borders on the Danube . In the east of the magic valley is the state capital Linz , in the south Holzheim .

Geologically, it is an extension of the Bohemian Massif that extends across the Danube .

The Zaubertalbach (formerly Zellbach or Wachbergbachl) flows through the Zaubertal towards the Danube .

The Zaubertal is accessed from Linz on the so-called Zaubertalstraße in 1954. The Zaubertalstraße leads from Margarethen in the urban area of ​​Linz via Frieseneggerstraße to Holzheimerstraße in Leonding.

The Linz Linien has set up the Zaubertal stop on Holzheimer Straße in Leonding. Line 192 connects Leonding city center (Stadtplatz-Leonding stop) with Linz city center (Hauptplatz stop). Lines 17 and 19 also stop there.

The Donausteig stage from Wilhering to Linz leads through the district, as well as other signposted local hiking trails between Linz, Leonding and Freinberg.

religion

The parish Linz St. Margarethen im Zaubertal, which has been independent since 1980, publishes the Zaubertalkurier as a parish journal. There is said to have been a hermit hermitage on the Zaubertalbach as early as the 8th and 9th centuries. The stream was therefore formerly called Zellbach. The first church of St. Margret with a sacristan's house and cemetery stood on the Danube on the property of Villa Margarethen, Zaubertalstrasse 5, and was first mentioned in 1381. It was destroyed by floods in 1786 and was never rebuilt. Today's parish church was built between 1651 and 1654 as the Linz Kalvarienbergkirche and stands on a rocky promontory high above the Danube. Half of the parish area extends to the urban area of ​​Linz and the other half to that of Leonding.
