High above Linz's Urfahr district is the prominent hill known as the Pöstlingberg.
The best way to get here from the city center is via a narrow gauge electric railroad, the Pöstlingbergbahn, established in 1898 and still carrying thousands of riders each year along its five-kilometer route.
Once there, be sure to visit the exquisite Pilgrimage church. Built in 1748, its most notable features include its beautiful 18th-century Pietà of carved wood, and its magnificent views.
