Bernau: Tour, Asphalt Stock Sport and Regional Delicacies

Bernau can be discovered through tangible experiences, regional products and traces of history. An asphalt hall at the Stallhofen Leisure Centre is used by ESR Bernau for asphalt stock shooting, while the fully signposted Three Markets Tour 746 offers its own way to enjoy active days. There are also places offering regional food and a history dating back to around 1600. For families with different interests, this combination provides ideas for planning a varied trip.

Active experiences around Bernau

A distinctive connection to regional sport is the stock sport facility of ESR Bernau. It is located at the Stallhofen Leisure Centre, Stallhofen 285, 8152 Stallhofen. The asphalt hall there is used by ESR Bernau for asphalt stock shooting. Anyone interested in this special sporting tradition can put the site on their itinerary as a separate activity. Its specific use by ESR Bernau makes asphalt stock shooting a characteristic feature of the local leisure landscape.

For cyclists, the Three Markets Tour 746 is another important point of reference. The tour is fully signposted. This is particularly appealing if you like to plan your days around a clearly named route and would like to include an active excursion alongside your stay in Bernau. The tour can be regarded as a focus in its own right, while the sports facility and regional destinations add other facets of the area. This creates not a one-dimensional travel plan, but a selection of physical activity, regional culture and culinary discoveries.

A hiking excursion organised by the Austrian Alpine Club to the Krampushöhle Stallhofen also passed through Bernau on 30 November 2017. This date describes a past hiking trip and is now primarily of interest as a historical reference. Anyone exploring the paths and destinations around Stallhofen gains another specific context in which Bernau is mentioned.

History and Regional Products

One historical trace leads to St. Lambrecht: around 1600, St. Lambrecht built another tavern in Bernau. The tavern is part of the area's history and gives a stay an additional historical dimension. It is not a reason to assume that it is open or available for visits today, but it is an intriguing starting point for anyone who wants to get to know Bernau not only through leisure activities but also through its past.

The regional character is also evident at two specific addresses. Grießer Hannes, Bernau 19, 8152 Stallhofen, offers cured pork, beef and pumpkin seed oil. The Jocham family's Spechtlerhof at Bernau 9, 8152 Stallhofen, offers milk, bread, pumpkin seed oil and schnapps. This selection makes clear that regional food can play a role in travel planning alongside tours and history. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment can include these places as specific destinations in their daily plans and consider which combination of active excursions, local history and culinary discoveries best suits their stay.

The Right Accommodation for Your Travel Plan

When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday house in Bernau, it helps to identify a clear personal focus. If the signposted Three Markets Tour 746 is to be the centrepiece, you can structure your days around this cycling tour. If regional products interest you more, Grießer Hannes and the Spechtlerhof move into the foreground. Those who prefer historical themes can view the tavern dating from around 1600 and the Austrian Alpine Club's hike as different points of reference in time.

For a trip involving several generations, it can be helpful not to force every interest into a single day's programme. An active day, an excursion with a regional flavour and a quieter look at history offer different ways to shape your stay.

Further Places for Orientation

If you would like to broaden your search to the surrounding region, you can also include Ligistberg, Kleinsöding, Salla, Edelschrott, Dietenberg, Steinberg Bei Ligist, Modriach and Hirschegg-Piber-Sonnseite in your planning.
