The delightful contrast between the mild, fertile orchards on the Moststraße in the north, south of the Danube and the wild, romantic alpine mountains in the south of the region entices visitors on varied journeys of discovery through the mountain and hilly landscapes and invites them to enjoy a sporting or cultural and historical vacation in the Mostviertel.
The Mostviertel
wild & mild
WELCOME TO THE MOSTVIERTEL
The Mostviertel lies between the Danube and the Ötscher, in beautiful Lower Austria.
Our hotel is situated in an idyllic location on the sunny side of the peaceful Mostviertel, surrounded by meadows, fruit trees and fields
MOST STREET
MILD & FRUITY
The route runs through gently undulating landscapes along rows of pear trees, cultural monuments worth seeing and cider farms. Pear ciders are something unique in Europe. The must specialties, many of which are single-variety, surprise with subtle nuances of flavor ranging from mildly pear-like to fruity and tangy to strong and tart. Plus 100% fruit juices and fine brandies. See for yourself.
In addition to the fruity delights, the Mostbirnhaus and Farmers' Museum invite you to visit monasteries, the basilica on the Sonntagberg, museums and exhibitions. The Mostviertel is also the "cradle" of modern-day Austria. In 996, Emperor Otto III gave the Bishop of Freising 1000 hectares of land in the area around the neighboring municipality of Neuhofen/Ybbs. The name "Ostarrichi" appears for the first time on the deed of gift, from which Austria developed over the years.
ALPENVORLAND
WILD & ALPIN
In the wild alpine Mostviertel region, guests can go on hikes and summit tours together. The Mostviertel mountains are part of the Limestone Alps and offer deep gorges and bizarre shapes due to the effects of water, wind and weather, such as the Ötschergräben in the Ötscher-Tormäuer Nature Park. The well-known peaks such as Ötscher, Dürrenstein and Hochkar are almost 2,000 m high and have a distinctly high alpine feel due to the lower forest line. The peaks and trenches are also home to primeval forests and a great variety of plants, such as in the Dürrenstein wilderness area. The Iron Road Lower Austria also offers exciting journeys through time and opportunities to experience the craftsmanship of blacksmiths, charcoal burners and woodcutters.
