In the nature of culture

Events and festivals throughout the year

In the past

The summer resort of Semmering was a source of inspiration for poets and thinkers such as Arthur Schnitzler, Heimito von Doderer and Franz Werfel. These works still reflect the region today. This creative spirit can be felt in the historic villas and venues.

Today

The region is lively and diverse: in addition to classical theatre, new formats, scenic productions, cabarets and small festivals enrich the programme. Highlights include the Festspiele Reichenau and Kultur.Sommer.Semmering, which attract visitors from all over the world during the summer months. But culture is not just a summer event here - events invite you to experience the Semmering-Rax World Heritage region all year round.
