Member of the Austria National Network

Enns gives you a great sense of magic. The magic of Enns is saved by the city wall - that's how it seems. And this maybe is the cause why the magic is still there.

Not for nothing Enns is the only town in Austria which got the "Citta Slow" award. Enns took this award for a clear sign, to be self-conscious about a new life- and town philosophy, directly to the true values and back to real enjoyment.

How you live, is a matter of personal philosophy. Where you live also. Living in Enns means to live your life through and through to be able to enjoy. All possibilities. Feel secure embedded in a community that is not anonymous. And part of a myth, the city has always surrounded them.

The myth Enns provides a backdrop, known as resident to enjoy every day, but what many visitors assume long distances. Many believe even, Enns was the Austrian Siena. Both are medieval towns. Both exhilarate the entity of being saved behind city walls.

Events that are not only the Ennserinnen and Ennser attract, but also many interested parties from the immediate vicinity. For cultural treasures are rare, but such things gets around.

However, culture to offer is just one thing and belongs to a city philosophy that gives life more content and more pleasure to do so. The other thing is to have a cultural thing but itself.
