Oberwart: City Garden, Lebenswart and Markets

City Garden: Relaxation and Exercise

The city garden is a place for relaxation and social interaction in Oberwart. Trees, grasses and flowers shape the garden; shady benches and tables invite you to enjoy a picnic. Various stations offer opportunities to train motor skills, stamina and coordination. This green space therefore provides both a place to take a break together and dedicated exercise facilities. If you are planning time outdoors, you can decide whether a picnic or the exercise stations matter more to you.

Lebenswart: Exercise with a Cultural Focus

The Lebenswart adventure trail leads through the Wart, an area around the Pinka in southern Burgenland, and through Oberwart. It is a cycling and hiking trail for the whole family. Its focus is the everyday multilingualism of the Wart. This cultural emphasis also makes the trail interesting for travelers who want to learn about a regional topic alongside getting some exercise.

Architectural History and Culture in Oberwart

Arcaded houses are characteristic of Oberwart and represent a local architectural style. A precise date is provided by the church of the Oberwart Reformed Parish, which was built between 1771 and 1773. These offer two different perspectives on architectural history: a defining style and a single building with a specific date. The Offenes Haus Oberwart has been in existence since 1989, adding a cultural institution with its own history to these architectural landmarks.

Market Days and Regional Produce

The Oberwart weekly market has been running since 1841. It takes place every Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the center of Oberwart, at the main square and in the city garden. The farmers’ market adds a Saturday date to the weekly schedule: except on public holidays, regional direct marketers sell their delicacies there from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. The markets take place on different days of the week; the farmers’ market also has an exception for public holidays.

Leisure Activities for Different Interests

In the former Trade Fair Hall II, StarJump offers modern trampoline facilities across more than 3,000 square meters, as well as various jump, action and balance areas. StarJump Kids PlayGround offers age-appropriate play and exercise activities for children aged 1 to 6.

Oberwart outdoor pool has a water surface of 800 square meters and a 7,000-square-meter sunbathing area for sunbathing and relaxing. There is also a large slide.

What to Consider When Planning

The timing depends on the activity: markets take place on set days of the week, you should check the cycling and hiking trail route in advance, and for the outdoor pool, the latest seasonal and facility information is useful. If you want to include several activities in your stay, plan around these different considerations.
