Discover Altlengbach

Altlengbach combines historic traces with varied trails, natural landscapes and an outdoor pool for a range of holiday activities. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday house can plan their stay according to their own interests: culture enthusiasts can discover the castle ruins, church and chapel, while hiking trails, natural areas and leisure activities provide further highlights.

Historical Traces in Altlengbach

A prominent starting point for exploring the local history is Altlengbach Castle Ruins. The complex was built around 1400 by the Fallbachers of Loosdorf and destroyed during the Ottoman siege. It was not rebuilt. Its layout comprises an almost square upper castle on an earthen mound, as well as an outer bailey to the east, located around 6 metres lower and arranged around a rectangular inner courtyard. Those interested in medieval complexes will find an informative historical subject here for their travel planning.

The parish church and the rectory are also part of the town's history. They originated in 1192 from the old castle of the Lengenbachers; the parish church is dedicated to Simon and Jude. It was severely damaged during the Ottoman siege and rebuilt in 1695. The origins of the Herrgottschmieden Chapel date back to the period after the second Ottoman siege of 1683. The listed chapel was moved around 35 metres in 2013 due to the complete redesign of the intersection of Prinzbachstraße and Hauptstraße.

Hiking Between the Town Centre and the Countryside

For an active day plan, the Altlengbach circular hiking trail leads through the Altlengbach district, the town centre and the surrounding countryside. Along the trail, there are fitness stations with various exercise options. Those who want to combine culture and exercise can also choose between three cultural hiking trails leading to a total of 15 historic and significant sights.

Cultural Hiking Trail 1 through Altlengbach, Lengbachl and Steinhäusl is approximately 11.5 kilometres long; the walking time is around three hours. This information will help you structure your day according to your own plans. The municipality provides hiking maps for free collection at the municipal office. This makes it possible to prepare for a day of hiking without focusing the trip exclusively on a single destination.

Outdoor Pool, Nature and Regional Products

In addition to history and hiking routes, Altlengbach offers opportunities for a varied stay. The outdoor pool has a large swimming pool with two small diving towers, a non-swimmer pool with a slide, and a baby pool with a water mushroom and sunshade. The outdoor pool also includes a freely accessible table tennis table, an adjacent playground and a multi-sport court. This means that on a day at the pool, people of different ages and with different interests can find activities of their own.

The municipality's natural areas include meadows, pastures, forests and bodies of water with special features relevant to nature conservation, as well as selected plant and animal species. Bio-Obst Höllerer provides another local touch: apples and pears from organic farming are offered there, and you can sample the products in the farm shop.
