Discover Zöfing: Chapel, Playground and Mushroom Farm

Zöfing has plenty to discover: St. Bartholomew's Chapel offers a tangible chapter of local history, the playground and beach volleyball court offer different leisure activities, and Aurum Fungi represents local edible mushroom cultivation. In the wider area of Judenau-Baumgarten, the view opens out across the Tullnerfeld, along the Danube and towards the Wagram. This page brings together topics from the village and the wider landscape.

Chapel and Local History

Construction of St. Bartholomew's Chapel in Zöfing began in 1910. The place name Zöfing was first recorded in 1330. The documented history of the name therefore goes back further than the start of the chapel's construction. If you are interested in local history, you can read these dates as different points in time: an early written record of the name and the start of a specific building project. Inside the chapel is a 1.30-metre-high statue of St. Bartholomew, created by Ferdinand Stufleser of St. Ulrich in Val Gardena. Alongside the start of construction, the statue offers precise details about the chapel: its height, the saint depicted and the name of its creator.

Playground and Outdoor Activities

Zöfing has a beach volleyball court and a playground for outdoor activities. The playground features a slide tower with a baby swing, a swing, a climbing hexagon and a trampoline. The two facilities offer different activities: the beach volleyball court is for ball games, while the playground brings together several types of equipment. If you are planning a visit with children, these specific facilities can help you choose between ball games, climbing, swinging or jumping. Conditions and availability can change, so check the current status of the facilities shortly before your visit.

Landscape in the Wider Area

The easily accessible Auberg is in the wider area of Judenau-Baumgarten. From there, the view stretches across the Tullnerfeld, along the Danube and towards the Wagram north of the Danube. In the wider area, the landscape rises gently towards the foothills of the Vienna Woods. These are different landscape impressions: the broad view from the Auberg and the gently rising terrain towards the Vienna Woods. When looking for a holiday apartment, consider which of these regional perspectives will shape your travel plans most and how you would like to balance them with the specific attractions in Zöfing.

Local Mushroom Farming and Food

Aurum Fungi started operating an edible mushroom farm in Zöfing on 22 April 2025. A feature article gives the weekly output of the organic shiitake farm as 200 kilograms. The programme of Aurum Fungi's first mushroom festival, in September 2025, included a mushroom tasting. These bring the production of a specific food and a culinary event from the past together. If an event is important to your travel plans, check current dates in advance.
