A stroll through the small town of Weyer

The small community of Weyer was founded in the 12th century. According to a legend,

the name "Weyer" comes from a diligent beaver who drained the swamps of the river Enns and thus prepared the ground for the first buildings of the village.





The baroque centre of the city gives you an idea of the wealth it had gained from wood and iron industry.

This is the statute reminding of the legendary beaver.

No stroll through a town without some coffee and something sweet...

(husband and dog are satisfied)

We walk up the hill to the upper part of Weyer.

Here we enjoy a beautiful view over the little town.

We come to Weyer's remarkable church.

We stroll down again,

and, of course, we find some houses where we could imagine to live in, as usual...

and with a last glance over Weyer, we finish our little tour.
