Introducing St Florian
Unassuming St Florian, a market town 15km southeast of Linz, hides one of the best abbeys in Upper Austria, if not the whole country. St Florian was a Roman who converted to Christianity and was drowned in the Enns River (in AD 304) for his pains. In many Austrian churches he is represented wearing Roman military uniform and dousing flames with a bucket of water.

The centre of town is Marktplatz, just below the abbey. Here you’ll find a small tourist office (56 90; st.florian@oberoesterreich.at; Marktplatz 2; 9am-1pm Mon-Fri), a few guesthouses and the post office.
