Neudau in the Lafnitz Valley

Neudau is located in the Lafnitz Valley and combines landscapes, culture and a distinctive cycle route to create a diverse travel destination. Anyone wishing to combine a trip with active days, historical discoveries and relaxing excursions will find a variety of starting points here for planning their own itinerary. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can therefore consider whether you mainly want to use Neudau as a starting point for cycle tours, for cultural sightseeing or as a place to enjoy a varied time together.

Discover the landscape around the water

The ponds Fuchsschweifteich and Großer Neudauer Teich are part of Neudau’s distinctive character. They are often referred to as Himmel Ponds and have existed since the 17th century. This long history makes them an interesting destination for anyone who wants to experience the landscape not only as a backdrop, but also with an appreciation of how it has developed. For families, an excursion there can be a more relaxing addition to an active day; at the same time, the ponds provide a concrete reason to explore the area around Neudau more consciously.

Castle and churches as cultural destinations

Among the sights in Neudau is the castle of the Kottulinsky family. It provides a cultural focus alongside the landscape experiences and is of interest to visitors who would like to include historic buildings in their travel plans. The parish church of St. Andrew is also one of the sights in Neudau. The Neudau parish has Saint Andrew as its patron saint; his feast day is November 30. This connection gives the church and the town an additional religious and local character.

The branch church of St. Bartholomew in Unterlimbach also belongs to the Neudau parish. This allows several ecclesiastical destinations to be included in a culturally oriented stay without confusing their respective locations. Anyone travelling with children can combine such stops with their own questions and small discovery tasks: What is the function of a parish church, what distinguishes a branch church, and what significance does a patron saint have for a community? This turns a brief sightseeing stop into an accessible introduction to regional history and tradition.

Cycling through the Lafnitz Valley

The Lafnitz Cycle Path runs through Neudau and is approximately 100 kilometres long. This route is an important consideration when planning a trip if you would like to include longer cycle tours in your stay. You can view Neudau as one of the places along the cycle path and tailor your preferred daily itinerary to your personal interests. This option is particularly relevant when choosing a holiday apartment if cycling is to set the rhythm of your trip and cultural destinations or excursions to the ponds are to be added as further activities.
