Every ship traveler was happy when they had overcome the dreaded rapids of the Strudengau and spotted the mural of St. Christopher at the wine toll. For as it was once said: if you had seen the image of St. Christopher, you would not die unprepared on the same day.

This and many other stories await you at the Ybbs time travel. Come with me and let‘s explore the medieval old town‘s history of Ybbs.
