Landscapes of Infrastructure Salzkammergut

The project contributes to the research field Landscape and Infrastructure. The Salzkammergut Railway is an important transport link through the Salzkammergut. As a linear infrastructure, it connects sites of touristic importance with the sites of salt extraction and early industrialisation. Different forces shaped the landscape in the course of history. In the research project, the characteristics of the designed landscape along the Salzkammergut line are surveyed and its shaping by infrastructural interventions is examined. The results will be prepared for use as an audio guide on ÖBB trains.
