Laussa

Laussa lies in a quiet side valley of the Enns on the border to the Northern Limestone Alps. The history of the village is based on ancient tradition, as evidenced by valuable finds from the Neolithic Age. In the last centuries, several hammer mills settled along the Laussabach and today the hammer castles still bear witness to the former prosperity of the Black Counts.

The power of water, used since time immemorial, the sun, the wind, in short, energy production from renewable raw materials and climate alliance partnership, are milestones on the way to a future worth living.
