Discover Sankt Georgen Im Attergau

Sankt Georgen Im Attergau combines cultural history, active experiences and regional specialities. Those looking for a holiday apartment for their stay can therefore plan their trip according to their personal interests: one day may lead to exhibitions and historical evidence, another to an adventure trail or climbing hall. The weekly market also provides a specific reason to get to know the town and its regional products.

Adventure trail and climbing hall for active days

The Kelten.Baum.Weg in the Attergau region is 2.5 kilometres long and combines information boards with activity stations. It is about learning through play, trying things out and being amazed; there are also opportunities to run around or relax. For planning your day, this means a clearly defined route with a variety of activities. Anyone wishing to combine exercise with an exploratory tour can reserve the Kelten.Baum.Weg as a separate item on their itinerary.

Another option for a more active stay is the climbing hall at the Attergau leisure centre “Freizi” in Sankt Georgen Im Attergau. Climbing, bouldering and climbing courses are offered there. This allows you to add a sporting activity to your travel plans without losing sight of the town’s cultural focus.

Cultural history at the House of Culture

The House of Culture in Sankt Georgen Im Attergau presents several permanent and special exhibitions by the Attergau Heritage Association, covering different themes. The connection between archaeology and local history is particularly vivid: the exhibition includes a model of the Roman estate at Königswiesen near Sankt Georgen Im Attergau. Restored finds from two archaeological excavations at the estate, carried out in 2020 and 2021, have also been on display since 2025.

Another exhibition tells the story of the life of the poet and composer Johann Beer (1655–1700), who is presented there as having been born in Sankt Georgen Im Attergau. The parish church of St. George also bears traces of history. Its pulpit dates from 1713 and was made by Meinrad Guggenbichler.

The parish museum focuses on religious and craft-related artefacts. On display are tools and guild banners, old parish indulgence letters and books, as well as liturgical vestments and implements. The museum also presents forms of popular piety, including pilgrimage souvenirs, various types of rosaries and crosses, and wax objects such as wax Christ Child figures made using the convent handicraft technique. Anyone interested in regional history, ecclesiastical art and traditional crafts will find several different points of access here.

Market, lime tree and travel

The Attergau weekly market takes place every Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Nikolaus Harnoncourt Platz, in front of the municipal office in Sankt Georgen Im Attergau. Products on offer include regional cheese, bread, honey, bacon and sausage specialities, as well as regional and seasonal vegetables and fresh flowers. For self-catering visitors, the market can be a practical part of their travel plans; at the same time, it provides an insight into regional produce.

The 1,000-year-old lime tree can be visited year-round. For arriving by train, St. Georgen im Attergau railway station provides another point of reference: it is located on the Vöcklamarkt–Attersee railway line, a completed section of the planned Voralpenbahn railway. When choosing your holiday apartment, you can therefore consider whether you want to focus your stay primarily on culture, active experiences, regional products or a combination of these.
