Aschach an der Donau is one of those places that you visit and immediately feel like you are in a postcard. It is one of the oldest and most charming market towns in Upper Austria (Eferding district) and is located directly on the great Danube loop. For centuries, Aschach was an important hub for shipping and trade. This is still reflected in the townscape today. The row of houses directly on the Danube promenade largely dates from the 16th century (Renaissance and Baroque). The facades are magnificently restored and a popular photo motif.

The Shalom Monastery in Pupping - Franciscans Since 1998, a small, Franciscan-influenced community of Franciscan brothers, a sister, and members of the OFS (Ordo Franciscanus Saecularis) from various countries of origin and cultures has lived at the Shalom Franciscan Monastery. Our community reflects a great diversity, which we experience not as a limitation but as an enrichment. We consciously strive to maintain a simple lifestyle and, in the spirit of St. Francis and St. Clare, we seek to follow in Christ's footsteps and share life in its various aspects: community, prayer, and work. With a fundamental attitude of openness, we seek to encounter one another, other people, and new situations. We are willing to continually accept challenges and dare to embrace change.
