Architecture and its furnishings - two organs, magnificent altar, magnificent pulpit, remarkable glass windows, etc. - it is rightly a wonderful landmark of the city of Linz. As it is sizewise the largest Gothic church in Austria, even bigger than the Stephansdom in Vienna, a definite must see. And take a while to enjoy the magnitude.

The amusement park takes you back into a fairy tale world of dwarfs and gnomes. The highlight of the attraction is a small train with a dragon-head at the engine. The train takes you through a rather dark tunnel along which are scenes from various fairytales and mood lighting at some places. Outside, you have a replica old-town market. The spokes radiating from the central market house scenes from popular fairy tales like the red riding hood, Rapunzel, snow-white, sleeping beauty and the likes. Kids will absolutely love this attraction and the grown ups will enjoy it as well.

If you want to explore Linz, you have to start with the Postlingbergbahn. On Saturday it was a lot of visitors and the train was 120% full. The ride with this train is an excellent experience. And the view on the top ot the hill is great.

Im neuen Höhenrausch dreht sich alles ums Paradies. Das beliebte Format besticht durch Werke von über 30 nationalen und internationalen Künstlern und einen abwechslungsreichen Ausstellungsparkour, der über die Dächer der Stadt führt. Auf ihrem Weg durch die Ausstellung entdeckten die Besucher künstliche Paradiese: Duftende Waben und ein reflektierender Kirschgarten winken über den Dächern von Linz. Kugeln leuchten auf dem Dachboden der Kirche und eine Figur spricht mit den Engeln. Aber es offenbart auch ihre dunkle Seite. Die Ausstellung führt durch das Kulturquartier und die renovierte Ursulinenkirche bis zum Dach des 60 Meter hohen Holzturms, der einen atemberaubenden Blick auf die Stadt und die umliegende Natur bietet.

The Linzer Hohenrausch Museum is great fun for children, families and adults. The art and technology displays are engaging. However, the real fun is the tower, outdoor beach area, rooftop garden and children play maze. All of these are designed above the museum roof structure. GREAT views across the city. I would skip climbing up church steeples and just go here for a view. PS - on sunny days children (and maybe some adults ) can cool off with bathing suits at the rooftop water sprinkler area.
