Steyr: Iron, Rivers, and the Working Town

from Austria Travel Podcast with Felix Gruber · host Felix Gruber

Felix moves to Steyr, Upper Austria's third city, trading the wine terraces of Krems for the industrial heritage of the Enns and Steyr rivers. He wanders the medieval Stadtplatz, watches the 125-year-old narrow-gauge steam railway, and reflects on the town's working-class soul, the cost of a new base, and the quiet hum of a place built on iron. ☕ Enjoying the show?
