The Steyr and Enns rivers meet at Steyr’s old town tip, which explains the needle-point shape of the medieval city center. The confluence viewpoint gives simultaneous views down both rivers. Free and always accessible; 10 minutes on foot from the Stadtplatz following the Enns riverbank south.

Confluence of Steyr and Enns rivers
Also known as Zusammenfluss von Steyr und Enns
Steyr occupies a dramatic natural position: the old town sits on a narrow tongue of land between the Steyr and Enns rivers where they meet, which explains the historical fortification and the distinctive needle-point geometry of the medieval street plan.
