Discover Lenzing: Trails, Culture and Music

Lenzing combines exercise, culture and various opportunities for a diverse stay. An approximately 24 km-long network of sports and recreational trails has been created as a leisure area for families, hikers and athletes. There are also historic churches, a cultural centre with futuristic architecture, musical events and the Wengermühle bathing facility. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Lenzing, you can therefore plan your trip according to whether you primarily want to be out and about, discover culture or include a day of swimming.

Exploring the Sports and Recreational Trail Network

Since the beginning of 2019, Lenzing has had a signposted sports and recreational trail network. The routes have two different starting points. This provides useful orientation when planning your day: depending on the starting point you choose, you can begin your excursion in different ways without having to commit to just one type of landscape experience. The network has a total length of approximately 24 km. Take this scale into account when planning and choose the scope of your activity to suit your travel group.

The trail network is explicitly aimed at families, hikers and athletes. This gives Lenzing a concrete reason to choose your accommodation based not only on the interior spaces, but also on the days you have planned for your holiday. Anyone who wants to spend a lot of time on signposted trails can include the starting points and the desired route length in their plans before arriving. The Wengermühle bathing facility complements the range with a swimming and leisure facility in Lenzing. This allows you to combine an active excursion in your plans with another form of leisure activity.

Cultural Monuments and Modern Architecture

One of the notable buildings is St. Andrew’s Church, also known as the Schimmelkirche. It stands in the Pichlwang district directly on the Attersee federal road and is considered the oldest cultural monument in Lenzing. St. Andrew’s Church was reconsecrated in its present form in 1508. The window reveals contain Gothic frescoes depicting St. Andrew, the Virgin Mary with the Child and John the Evangelist. During your stay, you can mark this place as a cultural highlight and make the historic images the focus of a day of discovery.

Another chapter of the town’s history is represented by the Church of the Holy Spirit in Lenzing. It was built according to the plans of Linz architect Hans Aigner and consecrated on 30 September 1962. Together with the older St. Andrew’s Church, it makes different eras visible without requiring you to reduce Lenzing to a single historical perspective.

The Lenzing Cultural Centre, known for short as the “KUZ”, also sets its own tone. It is distinguished by futuristic architecture and offers musical events ranging from classical to modern music. This means that when planning your trip, you can take into account not only trails and historic buildings, but also a contemporary cultural programme. You should check separately which event is currently taking place before your visit.

Arrival and a Suitable Starting Point

Lenzing railway station provides an arrival and departure option for the Lenzing AG, Gallaberg and Alt Lenzing areas. This orientation may play a role when choosing your holiday apartment if you are planning to travel or make individual journeys by train. The first decisive factor is which experiences should shape your trip: the signposted trail network, the churches and their art, the KUZ or the Wengermühle bathing and leisure facility. This allows you to choose accommodation in Lenzing more specifically according to your personal holiday focus.
