History and Culture in the Village

A prominent cultural attraction is the parish church of the Assumption of Mary. It is a late Gothic hall church with a net-vaulted ceiling dating from around 1466. The history of the village also goes back a long way: the village of “Niuvanhova” is first mentioned in connection with the name “Ostarrichi.” On November 1, 996, Emperor Otto III donated the land around Neuhofen to the Diocese of Freising.

Another historical facet is offered by the Harreither Staudenmühle mill. The mill, originally dating from 1435, is a place where the milling trade is being revived. High-quality, natural and organic grain from the region is processed there. This makes the mill interesting for travelers who want to discover craftsmanship and regional products in addition to sights.

Trails, Gardens and the Mostviertel Landscape

The Königshufen Trail combines culture and exercise. It connects the Ostarrichi Kulturhof with the Erde-Feuer Garden, leads via St. Veit and returns to the Ostarrichi Kulturhof. The Erde-Feuer Garden features a sensory trail that leads past a scented hedge and a herb spiral to a pergola. It can be reached by car, bicycle or on foot.

Those who want to experience the Mostviertel landscape can include the Neuhofen Panoramic Trail in their plans. It leads up to the Pöttenberg and offers views across the Mostviertel landscape. For cycling travelers, the southern section of the Mostbaron Cycle Route runs between Euratsfeld and Neuhofen. This makes it possible to combine different travel ideas: historical discoveries, a trail with garden stops or a tour through the landscape.

Water and Relaxing Days of Vacation

Neuhofen outdoor pool opened in June 1975 and was ceremoniously reopened 50 years later following renovation work. The complex includes a 42-meter water slide and a children's pool. There is also a large sunbathing lawn, an extensive green area for ball games, a children's playground and a snack bar. For families, the outdoor pool can therefore be an activity in its own right, while other days of vacation can focus more on history, cycling or walking trails.

When choosing your accommodation, it is worth first deciding on your preferred travel rhythm. A holiday apartment in Neuhofen an der Ybbs suits an itinerary in which you want to combine culture, garden trails, the outdoor pool and the Mostviertel landscape. This leaves room for different interests and for days with a changing pace.
