Ybbs an der Donau (German pronunciation:[ˈɪps]) (short: Ybbs) is a town in Austria. It was established in 1317. Throughout the town, from the intersection of the important trade routes and along the Danube the town has preserved a site that already had great economic importance during the Middle Ages.
The valley of the Ybbs river is called: Ybbs Valley, or Ybbs Field (German: Ybbsfeld).
