Hausleiten: Wagram, Trails and Culture

There are several themes to choose from for a trip to Hausleiten: the Wagram landscape, trails through the municipality, and cultural sites with a long history. Whether you want to observe nature, plan a route on foot or by bike, or explore architectural and historical landmarks, these themes offer different ways to shape your stay.

Landscape between the Wagram and the Danube wetlands

At the southern edge of the Weinviertel, the Wagram rises above the fertile Tullnerfeld. It is considered a former bank of the primeval Danube and connects today’s landscape with its geological past. To the south, Hausleiten reaches into the species-rich Danube wetlands, which are well suited to nature lovers, birdwatchers, and those seeking peace and quiet. This offers a choice between two distinct landscapes: the Wagram above the Tullnerfeld and the wetlands to the south. If observing nature is especially important to you, you can make the wetlands a focus of your visit.

Trails through Hausleiten

Numerous cycling and hiking trails cross the municipality of Hausleiten, leading to cultural highlights, historic sites, and viewpoints. This offers different starting points for an outing: you can focus on being active or combine it with a cultural destination, a historic site, or a viewpoint. Since 2010, the Weinviertel Way of St. James has run for about seven kilometres through the market town of Hausleiten. There is also a cycling and hiking trail of approximately 20 kilometres in the municipality. The route details differ in both length and name: around seven kilometres for the Weinviertel Way of St. James and approximately 20 kilometres for the cycling and hiking trail. These approximate figures can help you get a general sense of the scope of a planned activity.

Culture and history

The parish church of St. Agatha in Hausleiten dates back to an early medieval foundation around 900. This three-aisled basilica features Romanesque remains and a late Gothic barrel vault; it was remodelled in the Baroque period. The coexistence of these periods makes the building an illuminating site for anyone interested in architectural history: its founding, Romanesque remains, late Gothic vault, and Baroque alterations represent more than one stylistic period.

The Leeberg in Pettendorf is a burial mound from the Hallstatt period. Compared with the early medieval foundation of the parish church, this site takes you much further back in time. The two examples offer different historical perspectives: the Hallstatt period on the one hand, and an early medieval foundation with later building phases on the other.

The Kellergassenfest in der Lehrn takes place every year on the first Sunday after the start of school. Regional wines and food take centre stage. If you are planning your trip around the festival, check the specific event date before making your plans; its timing in relation to the start of school helps you work out when it takes place.
