!!!Welser Heide

Welser Heide Plain, Upper Austria, plain on the lower reaches of the 
River Traun, stretches from Lambach to Hoersching (Linz airport); 
formerly a mostly unproductive plain of sand and rubble, which only 
became fertile after centuries of fertilisation with a special 
tertiary marl (German: Schlier); today the Welser Heide Plain is quite 
densely populated and forms part of the settlement area along the axis 
from Linz to Wels, which is the centre of that area. The western 
railway crosses the Welser Heide Plain, the Westautobahn (A 1 
motorway) runs south of it.
