Gasthaus Lattner-Korntner: The food! The atmosphere! The view!
hrhcanada Says: A few minutes drive outside of Steyr in Nussbach, this is well worth the trip. There is nothing like enjoying your meal of Wiener Schnitzel on the terrace with the sight of the mountains, the smell of the country, and the sounds of the cowbells in the nearby pastures. For...

globetrott Says: SEGWAY-tours are quite popular at the moment in Steyr, although they are quite expensive . At first you will have an instruction of 30 minutes, how to use that strange, new type of vehicle. Then you will go on a 2,5-hours-tour through Steyr including a break with...

MEdelmann Says: Steyr is a town located on the romantic road, which connects Vienna and Salzburg. But it is not the fastest way, but definitely the most beautiful. There are many places along this route, which are "must-sees" in my opinion, such as Klosterneuburg with its wonderful...
