Literature

Readings, theatrical productions and literary heritage

Literature has always been closely associated with the region around Semmering and Rax. Great writers such as Arthur Schnitzler, Franz Werfel and Heimito von Doderer spent their summer holidays here, went hiking in the mountains and used the inspiring surroundings to gather new ideas and inspiration for their literature.

Readings, theatrical productions and literary formats still draw on this past today. They not only lend the events the spirit of yesteryear, but also make literature in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Semmering-Rax a living and contemporary experience.
