Discover Edlitz: Fortified Churches Road, Hiking Trails and Nature

Edlitz combines fortified church culture, marked trails and landscape experiences into a destination with many different opportunities for discovery. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can choose between cultural impressions, walks, longer routes and a break at the swimming pool. Particularly practical for planning is the fact that several trails start in Edlitz or pass through the village.

Fortified Churches Road and Multimedia Exhibition

The multimedia exhibition of the fortified church documentation in Edlitz is the starting point of the Fortified Churches Road. The marked route is 98 kilometres long and runs along roads with little traffic. In Edlitz, this marks the beginning of a cultural and historical discovery that can be planned as a longer excursion. During the remaining months, the key for the fortified church documentation can be collected from the municipal office or from the inn or Grüner Baum tavern. This makes it possible to fit a visit to the documentation into your personal daily itinerary.

Routes for Active and Relaxing Days on Holiday

The Sonnberg Route leads uphill from Edlitz via the panoramic road. Along the way, there are views across the Edlitz Valley; from Sonnberg, the view extends as far as Schneeberg. Those looking for a route with a noticeable climb and views will find a different character here than on the K1 Plaudermarkt circular hiking trail. This trail follows the Edlitzbach, runs along forest paths past the sports ground and then leads back into the village.

The Nepomuk Chapel is located directly on the K1 Plaudermarkt circular hiking trail. This makes it possible to combine a section of the route with a cultural stop without having to replan the circular trail as a whole. The orange-marked Marterlweg Edlitz begins in the centre of Edlitz and offers another opportunity to start an excursion directly in the village. For families or groups of travellers with different interests, trails designed in different ways like these can provide helpful guidance when choosing the day’s activity.

Nature, Equestrian Trail Network and Swimming Pool

In Edlitz, you can hike through almost untouched nature with fragrant coniferous forests and flowering meadows. The Bucklige Welt equestrian trail network is around 350 kilometres long and has one of its fixed points in Edlitz. This means the village appeals not only to hikers but also to guests who would like to plan their trip around horse riding.

The Edlitz swimming pool offers several specific options for an active break: the pools are preheated using solar energy, and there is also a diving board, a slide, a table tennis table, a table football table and a beach volleyball court. Depending on your daily schedule, you can combine time outdoors there with games and exercise.

Edlitz as a Location for Finding Accommodation

Looking for accommodation in Edlitz can make sense if you would like to place culture, trails and nature at the centre of your trip. The fortified church documentation and the beginning of the Fortified Churches Road provide a cultural focus, while the Sonnberg Route, K1 circular hiking trail, Marterlweg and equestrian trail network open up different forms of activity. This allows you to choose a holiday apartment or holiday home according to your preferred pace of travel and planned experiences, without associating the accommodation itself with unverified features.

For further travel planning, you can also explore Gloggnitz, Breitenau, Aspangberg Sankt Peter, Zöbern, Schwarzau am Steinfeld, Aspang-Markt, Puchberg Am Schneeberg and Reichenau An Der Rax.
