Blossoming pear trees in Mostviertel

Every year in the middle of April, the so-called "Moststraße" (Perry Road) glows in a gown of white blooms. For around two weeks, almost one million fruit trees convert the warm northwest of the Mostviertel area into a white sea of blossoms. The sight never fails to impress: Pear trees are in bloom along the 200 kilometers of the "Moststraße", or Perry Road, bringing fragrant white accents to the gentle slopes of the countryside. It's a great delight at this time of year to explore outdoors and absorb impressions on foot or by bike.

Between the middle and end of April, more than 300,000 pear trees convert the western Mostviertel region into an enchantingly white sea of blooms. The season of pear tree blossom is followed by the season of apple tree blossom, which surrounds the landscape in a delicate pink dress even days after the pear tree flower.

Follow the indications along the Lower Austrian Moststraße for the most thorough picture of the flowering nation (Perry Road). The panoramic trip along the Moststraße is a particularly attractive vehicle or motorbike journey. It leads to some of the most picturesque vistas along the blossoming Moststraße. The drive through the so-called Mosthöhenstraße is one of the tour's most picturesque portions (Panoramic Perry Route). It connects St. Peter in the Au, St. Michael am Bruckbach, and St. Georgen in the Klaus. The excursion continues to the Sonntagberg Basilica, which gives spectacular views over the Moststraße hills in the north and the Prealps in the south. You can also return to Seitenstetten via Biberbach. From the town of Kollmitzberg, one can see the whole mountain range, from the pinnacles of Schneeberg to Traunstein, and from the Donauland lowlands to the Bohemian Massif.
