Upper Austria is one of nine states of Austria covering an area of roughly 12000 km2. It borders on Germany and the Czech Republic and offers a wide variety of land forms - from flat basins in its center between Wels and Linz, to gentle hills in the north, to high und rugged mountain ranges in the south. Especially the south-western part of Upper Austria called Salzkammergut is well known for its pristine lakes.
