Pabneukirchen: Mühlviertel Trails, Timber Worlds and Culture

Pabneukirchen combines the typical rolling landscape of the Mühlviertel with hiking trails, unique insights into timber processing and a wide range of cultural discoveries. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can make the desired character of their trip the starting point: active days on signposted trails, excursions to museums and historical sites, or a varied time around the outdoor swimming pool.

Hiking Trails with Different Perspectives

Twelve signposted hiking trails lead throughout the municipality to the most beautiful and interesting places in Pabneukirchen. One notable example is the Romantiktal Trail (No. 2). It is equipped with information boards and has been awarded the Austrian Hiking Quality Seal. The boards can supplement the trail with additional information, while the award provides special recognition for this hiking trail.

The Marktblick viewpoint is located along the Hubertus-Hochbuchberg Circular Trail (No. 1). This provides various starting points for planning your day: You can choose a signposted trail, use the viewpoint as a guide or spread the hikes over several days of your holiday. The Mühlviertel can also be explored on horseback along its extensive network of bridleways. Rides through the tranquil countryside are therefore another possible holiday idea.

Timber, Vehicles and Regional History

The Holzwelten Pabneukirchen present the natural product timber from several perspectives. The facilities include a presentation, educational and interactive area, as well as showrooms belonging to the two large furniture manufacturers Anrei and Pabneu. They showcase the many possible uses and applications of timber. A circular trail approximately 1.5 km long leads through the individual experience worlds. For your holiday, this means a specific cultural activity that combines exhibition content with a walk.

The Pabneukirchen Local Heritage Room focuses on popular religious traditions, rural everyday culture and historical agricultural equipment. The collection also includes a remarkable farmhouse parlour dating from around 1900. In the Eustachius House, market house no. 6, a wall painting depicts Saint Eustachius. The Ambros Italian Vintage Car Museum has a completely different focus: Around 250 Italian automobiles are displayed across an exhibition area of 5,000 m², the oldest dating from 1927. The museum also exhibits Vespas, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles.

Active and Relaxing Holiday Days

The landscape can be experienced not only on foot or on horseback. Cross-country skiing is also possible in Pabneukirchen. For warmer days, the Pabneukirchen outdoor swimming pool offers a children's pool with a slide and is heated using solar energy. There is also a beach volleyball court at the pool grounds, which is accessible at any time from spring to autumn. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore consider whether your holiday days should focus mainly on hikes, cultural visits, sporting activities or a combination of these.

Choose Accommodation to Suit Your Travel Plans

The many different experiences call for thoughtful daily planning. Hiking enthusiasts can make the twelve trails and the Marktblick viewpoint the focus of their stay, while culture enthusiasts can choose between the Local Heritage Room, Eustachius House, Holzwelten and Vintage Car Museum. Those travelling with children will find a specific excursion destination at the outdoor swimming pool, complete with a children's pool and slide. When searching for a holiday apartment in Pabneukirchen, it is therefore worthwhile to first define your personal holiday priorities and then choose the right location for the days you have planned.
