The Quellenviertel lies amongst rolling hills, between Bavaria and Salzburg. Not right in the thick of things – but just the place if you’re looking to unwind.
Like a rough diamond, the Quellenviertel lies in the west of Upper Austria.
Nestled amongst small towns, plenty of greenery and even more tranquillity.
Things are quieter here. And that’s exactly what makes it so special.
Here, your holiday doesn’t just begin when you reach your destination. It starts the moment you set off. Or rather: the moment you step on board.
Travelling by train to the Quellenviertel is a relaxing experience – with no stress, no hunting for a parking space and no traffic jams. Just sit back, look out of the window and slowly unwind.
