Discover Hagenberg in the Mühlkreis

Hagenberg in the Mühlkreis combines culture, nature and active experiences within a compact thematic area, without implying any specific distance between the individual destinations. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home for varied days away will find inspiration here for different daily itineraries: historic architecture, parkland, hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as special insights into regional technology.

Culture around Hagenberg Castle

Hagenberg Castle is a prominent focal point. The castle developed from a ruin into a centre for science, administration and culture. The castle park features an exceptional collection of trees, park meadows and small ponds. This allows a cultural visit to be combined in your plans with time spent in green surroundings, while you can organise your day independently of the individual interests of your fellow travellers.

Hagenberg Castle Chapel is regarded as one of the most distinctive creations of Baroque ecclesiastical architecture in the Lower Mühlviertel. A particular highlight is the baldachin high altar with four columns and a group depicting the Holy Family. The work was created by Johann Mähl from Linz. For travellers interested in ecclesiastical art, architecture and regional history, the chapel offers a specific cultural point of interest.

Hiking, Cycling and Climbing

The Anitzberg Circular Trail (51) is an approximately 5.1 km-long hiking route through forests and along streams. The Hagenberg Circular Trail conveys the location of the village between the Visnitzbach nature experience and the Feldaist Valley. These two details help you incorporate different forms of exploring the landscape into your travel plans: one is a named route with forest and stream sections, while the other is a circular trail connected to the specified landscape areas.

Those who want to experience the hills of the Mühlviertel by bicycle can consider the “115 a Hagenberg Loop” mountain biking route. It is 29 km long and leads through the hills of the Mühlviertel. The climbing hall in the Softwarepark Arena has around 160 m² of climbing area. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore consider whether hiking, cycling, climbing or culture should be the focus of your stay, without limiting the trip to just one type of experience.

Special Insights at Kumpfmühle

At Kumpfmühle, visitors can view a Venetian sawmill, a grain mill and a small hydroelectric power station. The combination of these three elements makes Kumpfmühle an interesting destination for anyone who wants to learn about technical functions and historical forms of use. Together with the castle, chapel and park, it creates a multifaceted picture of Hagenberg in the Mühlkreis that goes beyond purely landscape-based experiences.
