Swimming lake and far-reaching views. Edlbach is quietly situated in the Windischgarstnertal valley - between Spital am Pyhrn and Windischgarsten, on the edge of the Kalkalpen National Park. Here, the 360° Alpine landscape shows its original side: wide meadows, small farms and paths that start right on the doorstep. The **Edlbacher Moor nature reserve** is a reminder of how unspoilt the landscape is here - a rare raised bog that lends the surrounding area its own unique atmosphere. The [**18-hole golf course**](https://www.360alpenland.com/en/dilly-golf-course.html)embedded in gentle terrain, offers golfing fun for young and old. Right next to it is the [**Edlbach bathing lake**](https://www.360alpenland.com/en/edlbach/oesterreich-poi/detail/430001599/badesee-edlbach.html) - in summer a place for families, swimmers and anyone looking for water to balance out a day in the mountains. Around the village, well-marked hiking trails lead through meadows and forests, to viewpoints and cosy places to stop for refreshments - with views of the peaks around Windischgarsten. In winter, the surroundings are transformed into a clear, tranquil snowy landscape, inviting you to **go curling** on the lake and **tobogganing** on the Zottensberg. Edlbach stands for nature holidays without detours: [**Hiking**](https://www.360alpenland.com/en/hiking-summits.html)**,** [**cycling**](https://www.360alpenland.com/en/cycling-mountain-biking.html) **and mindful hours in the countryside** are combined with regional cuisine and a lively pub culture. Mountains, forest and village life are close together here - a place for people who want to experience Upper Austria consciously and at their own pace.

Facts & Figures ------------------- 647 Inhabitants 8 km² area 600 - 900 m above sea level 47.71, 14.34 GPS coordinates History of Edlbach ------------------ Edlbach is nestled in the Windischgarstnertal valley - a place whose history has grown quietly. The name was first mentioned in a document in **1190**, when a deed of gift referred to an area "where the erlibahc flows into the tanpahc". Long before political borders were established, life in the valley was characterised by rural clearances, small farms and the **proximity to the important Pyhrn route**. Today's political **municipality has existed since 1850** and Edlbach has remained **closely linked to Windischgarsten** ever since - ecclesiastically, economically and in everyday life. For generations, **farming, forestry work** and life according to the rhythm of the **seasons** characterised everyday life. The scattered settlements with their farms still tell the story of this evolved cultural landscape today. In the 20th century, new impulses were added: **nature and landscape were increasingly valued as recreational areas**. Step by step, Edlbach developed into a community in which agriculture and tourism coexist. Edlbach's history is characterised by small, steady developments rather than major events. The village is closely connected to its landscape - and this connection still characterises life today. Between moor, forest and valley, history is evident here in everyday life.
