Krems

What It Is

The Krems is a 62-kilometer tributary of the Traun River flowing through Upper Austria near Linz. Travellers visit to walk or cycle along quiet riverbanks characterized by simple, unspoiled natural scenery.

Getting There

From Linz city centre, local public transport heading toward the southern district of Ebelsberg takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes. Cycling along designated city routes takes approximately 25 minutes.

Time to Spend

Allow 1 to 2 hours for a casual walk along the riverbanks, or 2 to 3 hours if exploring further along the cycling paths.

When to Visit

Spring through autumn provides the most reliable weather for walking and cycling. The paths rarely see dense crowds, though local residents use the trails more frequently on mild weekend afternoons.

What to Combine It With

You can pair a visit along the river with several nearby destinations:

  • Pfarrkirche Ebelsberg (1 km)
  • Welser Mühlbach (3.1 km)
  • SolarCity Linz (3.8 km)
  • Anton-Bruckner-Museum (4 km)
