Gusterberg Viewpoint and Tree in the Middle of the World

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Gusterberg viewing platform is a popular place to enjoy the beautiful landscape of Upper Austria. It is located on the highest point of the Gusterberg, which is 488 m above sea level. From here you have a wide view from the Alps to Berchtesgaden and the Bohemian border. The Gusterberg is also a historically significant place because it was chosen as the fundamental point of the Upper Austrian national survey in 1817. This means that it served as the coordinate origin for the mapping of the crown lands of the time.
The name Gusterberg viewing platform also refers to the famous tree in the middle of the world that was planted at the location of the zero point. The tree was originally a centuries-old linden tree that had to be felled in 1929 due to a lightning strike. As a precaution, a new linden tree was planted nearby in 1916, which now has a trunk circumference of almost 3 meters. The tree in the middle of the world is also known in literature, as it was described by the Upper Austrian poet Adalbert Stifter in his novel Der Nachsommer.
In addition to the tree in the middle of the world, there is also an inn with the same name that has existed there since 1911. There you can refresh yourself after a hike or bike ride and enjoy the view. The Gusterberg viewing platform is therefore an ideal place for nature and culture lovers who want to take a trip to the Wels region.
