Perg.
A quiet market town on the Naarn, at the edge of the Mühlviertel hills.
Wine TastingHiking
Perg sits on the Naarn River in Upper Austria's Mühlviertel, a hilly region north of the Danube. The town centre keeps a compact, workaday charm, built around a market square and streets that still follow their old layout. Away from the square, the Naarn valley opens into farmland and forest, with paths that follow the river or climb into the surrounding hills.
Wine has a modest but real presence here: local taverns pour bottles from small growers in the wider region, and a nearby vineyard is open for tastings. Hiking trails fan out from the town into the Mühlviertel's rolling terrain, past farmhouses and patches of woodland that turn colour in autumn. The pace in Perg matches its size — unhurried and rooted in everyday Upper Austrian life.
