Even when the sky is grey, the region around Semmering loses none of its charm. On the contrary: it invites you to take a closer look.
Museums such as the Ghega Museum and the information center at Semmering railway station open up fascinating chapters of history – for example, about Carl Ritter von Ghega and the construction of the Semmering Railway, a pioneering European engineering project. At the Wasserleitung Museum, visitors can learn about the work that goes into bringing drinking water to Vienna.
Those who prefer to stroll through charming town centers can shop for souvenirs in Gloggnitz and Neunkirchen.
The regional wellness offerings also give you time for yourself—for example, at the Raxalpenhof or the Payerbacherhof. When you switch off there, you are immersed in soothing silence. And maybe you'll still have enough energy left for a game of bowling at the Raxalpenhof—relaxing and sociable at the same time.
And then there are those quiet moments of pleasure: sitting in a coffeehouse, listening to the rain and enjoying a slice of cake. Sometimes that's all it takes to make a day special.
