Perg is a town in Upper Austria and has approximately 7.600 residents. There you’ll find two completely different types of scenery. The North of the town is located in the Mühlviertel uplands, the foothills of the Austrian granite hills, a rolling countryside with fields, meadows and woods. The southernpart is in the lush Marchland, a large plateau at the banks of the Upper Austrian Danube.
