Krems-Land District facts for kids

Krems-Land District is a special area in Lower Austria, which is one of the nine states in Austria. Think of it like a county or a region. It's located to the west and north of the city of Krems an der Donau. This city is a "statutory city," meaning it manages itself like a district, even though it's surrounded by Krems-Land.

In Austria, a "district" (called Bezirk in German) is a way to organize different parts of a state. It's not a city or a town itself, but a group of smaller towns and villages that work together.
