Discover Nußbach: Trails, Culture and Nut Spirit

Nußbach combines rural landscapes, scenic trails and its own culinary tradition. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment for a varied stay will find a range of travel ideas here: uphill through forests and past four-sided farmhouses, with a pushchair along a circular route through the town centre, following historical traces or on a longer hike through the Nußbach floodplain.

Trails with Views and Landscape Experiences

The Nussgeistweg offers a particularly characteristic experience. It leads past typical four-sided farmhouses and uphill through a wooded area towards the “Sattl” forester’s lodge. The trail also leads to the “Weiß’n am Sattl” lookout, which is situated at an elevation of 763 m above sea level. From there, views stretch across the mountain ranges as far as the Hausruck and Mühlviertel regions. This combination of traditionally agricultural cultural landscape, forest and elevation makes the trail a good choice for anyone who wants to discover Nußbach on foot.

At the Nussgeistweg, a ridge offers an overview of the “Kremsauen” nature reserve and the “Kremsau” retention basin. This allows the landscape to be experienced not only along the trail but also from an elevated perspective. The Kremstalweg complements the hiking options: it leads through the Nußbach floodplain as a long-distance hike. Anyone wishing to include a longer tour in their travel plans can also consider the “Benedikt Pilgrimage Circular Trail Traunviertel – From Monastery to Monastery”. It comprises eight walking pilgrimage stages and two cycling pilgrimage stages in both directions and is around 150 km long in total.

Town Centre, Church and a Trail for Families

Nußbach also offers specific destinations for a more leisurely day trip. The Bilderbuchweg is a circular route suitable for pushchairs, with 16 stations through the town centre. This makes it possible to combine a walk with a series of stops without planning a long hike. When choosing a holiday apartment, this difference between an extended trail and a shorter discovery tour through the town can be a practical consideration.

Nußbach parish church stands in the town centre. It was built in the Gothic style; its 64 m-high tower was erected at the beginning of the 20th century. The church adds a cultural point of interest to the nature and hiking experiences. The local tradition also includes a May procession that led to Wimberg on 1 May. Seven farmers from Wimberg built a chapel there in honour of the Holy Cross. This history gives the surrounding area an additional cultural perspective if, alongside the landscape, you would also like to discover regional traditions.

Nut Spirit as Part of the Town’s Character

Nußbach is also associated with Nußbacher Nussgeist. It has been produced in Nußbach for centuries. There are around 30 producers in Nußbach who make Nussgeist. The long production tradition and the number of producers shape a culinary aspect of the town that differs from its hiking trails and sights. This allows you to plan your trip according to your interests: active days on the Nussgeistweg or Kremstalweg, a walk with 16 stations, culture in the town centre and regional traditions surrounding Nussgeist.
