-------------------------------------------------

Seven captivating communities nestled among gentle hills make up the charming holiday region centred on the Hausruckwald. It’s a region that delivers unforgettable experiences and guarantees feelings of well-being, creating special memories that will last a lifetime and opening up rich variety of possibilities.

 From horse-riding, hiking and cycling across the awe-inspiring landscape of forests and hills to genuine relaxation with fantastic vistas of the magnificent mountain peaks of the Alps and visits to charming small towns steeped in culture and tradition – all of this comes together in a place whose remarkable history deserves to be explored. The Hausruckwald, or Hausruck forest, promises a warm welcome, a sense of freedom, culinary specialities and entertainment for the whole family.

The Hausruckwald is an exciting destination all year round thanks to its wealth of unmissable leisure attractions. With a wide range of local museums, galleries, pilgrimage churches and show mines, you can experience the region’s culture and art, history and present at first hand. Afterwards, why not enjoy the fresh air on a stroll through idyllic parks or on a fascinating audio walk. Pay a visit to the “Glashütte” in Schwanenstadt, the only glass-works in the area, and take a deep dive into the noble art of glassmaking. Or learn interesting facts about rural life in the 19th century at the Stehrerhof open-air museum in Neukirchen an der Vöckla and then let yourself be transported back in time at full steam with a ride on Ampflwang’s heritage railway.

Our small towns and even the smaller villages of the Hausruckwald offer evening attractions, entertaining and regaling visitors with musical, theatrical and cabaret performances. The ZipAir music festival draws crowds from across Austria and is one of the country’s annual concert highlights.

Next, it’s time for a spot of indulgence. Delicious meals are an essential part of any holiday, and we are perfectly placed to serve them. With our homely cuisine, you can be sure of down-to-earth culinary treats. You’re also welcome to get a taste of the art of brewing on a brewery tour, take part in our popular wine festivals or watch farmers at work as they produce the best regional (organic) products to sell direct to customers.
