Discover Neusiedl an der Zaya

Neusiedl an der Zaya lies in the hills of the northeastern Weinviertel. Here, a typical Weinviertel landscape and the history of oil production come together with church and pilgrimage history, cycling routes, and an outdoor swimming pool. When planning your trip, you can decide whether hiking, cycling, local history, or a swim should be the main focus.

Hiking between the Weinviertel and the history of oil production

The “Wine, Oil and Bread” circular hiking trail is 10 km long and takes about 2.5 hours to walk. This easy hike leads through a typical Weinviertel landscape in the heart of a former oil-producing area. Its length, approximate walking time, and easy rating give you concrete reference points for fitting a hiking trip into your day. The Oil Museum covers the history of oil mining and the search for “black gold.” The hike combines views of a former oil-producing area with a museum dedicated to extraction and exploration.

Cycling routes and a rest stop

The Liechtenstein Cycle Route runs from Hauskirchen through Neusiedl an der Zaya to Altlichtenwarth. The St. Ulrich sulfur spring offers another point of reference for cyclists: it lies directly on the Eurovelo 9 and Veltliner cycling routes and provides a place for a short break. These details serve different planning needs: the Liechtenstein Cycle Route describes a route through the town, while the sulfur spring is a rest stop on two named cycling routes.

Church and industrial history

Neusiedl Parish Church is a Baroque parish church with a Gothic high altar; its church tower was built in 1719. This distinguishes the building, altar, and tower: the style descriptions combine Baroque and Gothic, while the year dates the construction of the tower. St. Ulrich developed into a pilgrimage site in the 16th century. Remains of the open-air pulpit at St. Ulrich Parish Church are still visible today. The pilgrimage history and pulpit remains add further concrete aspects of religious heritage to the architectural features.

The Feuerland art installation explores ancient fossil energy in the form of oil and renewable energy in the form of wind power. It is incorporated into historic lattice towers from the 1950s. The Feuerland sculptures comprise a group of seven industrial monuments from the historic oil industry, preserved on foundations. The two aspects have different emphases: the installation contrasts energy sources, while the group preserves physical evidence of the historic oil industry. In 2009, an international sculpture symposium titled “Feuerland Sculptures” was held in this area; wood, iron, and stone were used.

Neusiedl/Zaya Outdoor Swimming Pool

The Neusiedl/Zaya outdoor swimming pool has a heated sports pool, a heated waterslide pool, and a heated baby pool. The three types of pools offer different features; all are heated.
