The perfect place for a relaxing vacation - the Hausruckwald offers many opportunities to relax and recharge, whether in a hotel or in a vacation apartment.
Vöcklabruck is a municipality in the Hausruckviertel region of Upper Austria. The city is the center of the Vöckla-Ager depression, the second most important economic area in Upper Austria. As the seat of the district administration and the district court of Vöcklabruck, it is also an important administrative city, a regionally significant shopping and business city and, as the location of various secondary schools, also a relevant school town.

Vöcklabruck city fortifications: the frescoes on the city towers were discovered in the 1960s and date from about 1502 by the Tyrolean court painter Jörg Kölderer, who also painted the frescoes on the coat-of-arms tower in Innsbruck (which had already been destroyed in 1766).
