Discover Aschau in Burgenland

Aschau in Burgenland combines impressive cultural monuments with paths through a remarkable landscape. Those looking for a mix of local history, distinctive buildings and nature experiences for their holiday will find several specific starting points here for planning their trip. When looking for a holiday apartment, you can therefore consider whether you would like to focus your stay primarily on the historical sights, the circular trail to the observation tower or the Willersdorf Gorge–Aschau Floodplain.

Cultural Monuments and Historical Testimonies

Aschau's cultural profile includes the Protestant School and Prayer House, which is protected as a listed monument by ordinance. The Feldkasten at Dorfstraße 27 is also protected: Its monument protection is established by official decision pursuant to Section 3. Both buildings are established historical points of reference in the village, without this implying any particular viewing opportunity or opening hours.

A special address for those interested in culture is the Aschau Clock Room. It is considered Austria's only tower clock museum, giving it a distinctive place among the sights of Burgenland. Those interested in technology, craftsmanship and the history of timekeeping can take this focus into account when planning their day.

The Romanesque branch church of St. Oswald also bears witness to a long building history. It has three construction phases: an early medieval apsidal hall from the 9th century, the addition of the choir in the 15th century, and the renovation of the western wall in 1773. This historical picture is complemented by the Protestant Tower School. It has been preserved and exemplary restored in the area of the Protestant mother parish AB Oberschützen and its daughter parishes. A thatched farmhouse in Aschau was also professionally restored.

Circular Trail, Observation Tower and Nature Experience

For a more active excursion, the circular trail from Aschau is a good option. It leads directly to the Aschau observation tower and back again. The tower stands on Kreuzberg and is around 8 metres high. This allows local history and the experience of the landscape to be combined in a single outing, without requiring you to link the route with additional destinations.

The regional alpannonia route from Bad Tatzmannsdorf offers a different perspective. It leads via Jormannsdorf, Oberschützen, Willersdorf and the Willersdorf Gorge onwards to Aschau. For your planning, this regional route is therefore just as relevant as the local circular trail. A nature trail with eight stations was also established in the Willersdorf Gorge–Aschau Floodplain area in 2006. The gorge and floodplain are considered special features from both a biological and a geological-geographical perspective.

If you are travelling with different interests, you can choose between historical discoveries and nature trails in Aschau instead of limiting your stay to just one type of experience. For a holiday apartment or holiday home, the desired structure of each day is therefore a particularly useful starting point: those interested in culture can focus on the buildings and the Clock Room, while hikers and landscape enthusiasts can make the circular trail, the alpannonia route or the nature trail the centre of their plans. The places and paths mentioned offer various ideas without requiring you to follow a fixed programme.
