Description

Since the earliest times, Bad Erlach was a settlement area at Roman traffic routes, at the border between the duchies of Styria and Austria. Shaped by its location at the edge of the Steinfeld and the Bucklige Welt, the plain opens here giving the place a special charm. It connects Burgenland influences with the Lower Austrian surroundings.

Testimonies of the past reach through the entire Austrian history: the medieval Ulrich Church, Schloss Linsberg as a place of protection, Harathof from the second Christian colonization period, the agriculturally shaped village street and remains of industrialization. All of this is integrated into the emerging place without denying its historical diversity.

The cultural hiking trail opens culture and history of this lesser-known region of Lower Austria. It spans a bow from the historical beginnings through industrialization to the modern wellness oasis, to convey the unity of landscape, history, and culture.

Accompanying persons can be booked through the municipal office.

Equipment Always bring suitable maps. Wear sturdy shoes adapted to the route, take sun and rain protection, as well as water and a snack. Take your mobile phone with you and save the emergency mountain rescue number: 140
