Discover Weichselbaum

Weichselbaum offers different ways to experience the landscape, outdoor activities and culture. The Water Trail mainly follows forest and field paths, through shady woods and along the banks of the Saubach stream. The Country Trail crosses the entire municipality and is 14.2 kilometres long. Other attractions include the Maria Bild pilgrimage church, the Angel Trail, an adventure farm with ponies, and the opportunity to take an e-bike ride through three countries in the Raab-Örség-Goricko Nature Park. Those planning a trip with several generations can choose between peaceful moments in nature, cultural and historical impressions, and more active pursuits.

Water Trail and Country Trail for Different Day Plans

The Water Trail is lined with pilgrimage stations and numerous meditative spots amid nature. Its route over forest and field paths and along the Saubach gives the excursion a clear connection to the landscape. For visitors who want to experience more than just one attraction and instead gather different impressions along the way, the focus here is on the trail, the watercourse, the forest and the quiet stations.

The Country Trail sets a different tone: it leads through the entire municipality of Weichselbaum and covers 14.2 kilometres. Along this trail, there is an opportunity to attend a wine tasting or shop at a direct-marketing farm. An appointment should be arranged with the respective business in advance. Anyone wishing to include this trail in their holiday can look for a holiday apartment that allows for flexible scheduling and coordinate the desired visit well in advance.

Maria Bild Pilgrimage Church and Historic Pilgrimage Routes

A cultural highlight is the parish and pilgrimage church of the Visitation of Mary in Maria Bild. The church is a single-nave, three-bay hall church with a semicircular apse, built in the Renaissance style. Maria Bild pilgrimage church was built in 1793 under Abbot Marian Reuter of Heiligenkreuz and St. Gotthard. The high altar features a miraculous image that is a copy of the miraculous image of Maria Pötsch in St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna.

Since its establishment, Maria Bild pilgrimage church has been a popular pilgrimage destination. The Angel Trail is part of a historic pilgrimage route and complements the religious and cultural-historical aspects of a stay. This means that a stay in Weichselbaum can also be planned for those who do not want a longer walk to be the focus every day. Anyone interested in church art, pilgrimage and regional history will find specific points of interest here for planning a varied trip.

More Experiences Between Animals and Three Countries

The Maria Bild adventure farm offers pony rides and pony treks. This adds a hands-on activity with animals to the trails and church visits. Another option is provided by the Raab-Örség-Goricko Nature Park, where an e-bike ride through three countries is possible. Depending on the day of your trip, you can include nature experiences, physical activity and cross-border landscapes in your holiday without focusing your stay exclusively on a single destination.

Which Accommodation Suits Your Travel Plans?

When choosing a holiday apartment in Weichselbaum, your preferred holiday rhythm is the main deciding factor. If the Water Trail, with its forest sections, the banks of the Saubach and its meditative spots, is the main focus, a plan with sufficient time for a leisurely excursion is a good fit. Because of its length of 14.2 kilometres, the Country Trail requires a different division of the day. For a wine tasting or shopping at a direct-marketing farm, prior appointment arrangements must also be included in the planning.

The pilgrimage church, its miraculous image and the historic Angel Trail give the stay a religious and historical focus. Pony rides, pony treks and the possible e-bike ride through three countries, on the other hand, offer different highlights. This allows you to choose a holiday apartment as a base for the type of trip that best suits your plans together, without limiting the holiday to a single activity.
