Discover Neumarkt am Wallersee

Neumarkt am Wallersee combines nature experiences by the water, protected landscapes, local history and seasonal cuisine. Those who want to bring different interests together during their holiday will find concrete starting points here for planning each day. The Wallersee circular trail begins at Neumarkt lido, while cultural trails, a museum and a family-friendly detective trail offer further perspectives on the town.

Nature at Lake Wallersee and in Wenger Moor

The Wallersee circular trail leads through the protected Wenger Moor. In Wenger Moor, the lake and moor trail offers the opportunity to observe rare plants and birds. This places a nature experience at the centre, involving not only Lake Wallersee but also the moor's unique landscape. If you enjoy spending time outdoors, you can consider this trail an important factor when planning your trip.

When choosing a holiday apartment or another type of accommodation, your preferred holiday focus is therefore particularly important. Those who prioritise nature observation and trails by the lake will plan differently from someone who mainly wants to discover historical sites or seasonal events. Neumarkt am Wallersee offers several specific themes for these different interests.

Schanzwall and Fronfeste Museum

Schanzwall is one of Neumarkt's most significant cultural monuments. The Schanzwall Trail begins at St Nicholas Church in the centre of Neumarkt and circles the old cemetery section on the historic Schanzwall. This allows you to explore the town's history via a dedicated trail and discover the historic Schanzwall as a distinct part of your trip planning.

Another cultural attraction is the Fronfeste Museum. It is housed in the bailiff's and prison building constructed in 1589. The combination of a museum visit and a historic building alone makes this place interesting for travellers who want to learn more about Neumarkt's history. Together with Schanzwall, it forms a cultural focus that clearly differs from the nature experiences in Wenger Moor.

Family experiences and planning your days together

The 5-kilometre detective trail leads through and around Neumarkt am Wallersee. It is suitable for families with children from around 6 years of age and for school groups. Families can include it in their plans as a shared activity, while other days can be devoted to the Wallersee circular trail, Wenger Moor or the cultural monuments. When planning your itinerary, you should take the approximate age recommendation into account, as well as the length of the trail.

Bauernherbst and seasonal specialities

Neumarkt am Wallersee is one of the many Bauernherbst locations in the Salzburg region. During Bauernherbst, three Bauernherbst restaurants in Neumarkt am Wallersee offer seasonal culinary specialities. This creates a time-specific culinary focus for your trip planning. The Wallersee pilgrimage in mid-September has become an established part of Bauernherbst in the Salzburg Lake District and provides another specific connection to the Bauernherbst season.

Accessibility and finding suitable accommodation

Neumarkt am Wallersee is easily accessible by car and public transport. When searching for a holiday apartment, you can therefore first consider which experiences should be the focus of your stay: observing nature in Wenger Moor, trails and cultural monuments in the town, a shared family experience, or Bauernherbst and seasonal specialities.
