Kreuzstetten: Trails, history and leisure

Niederkreuzstetten, Oberkreuzstetten and Neubau-Kreuzstetten refer to different locations associated with the activities described. When planning your trip, it is therefore worth considering which activities interest you most and how you would like to get there.

Hiking trails, scenery and the cellar lane

Niederkreuzstetten has marked hiking trails. Guided themed hikes are also offered in Kreuzstetten, including wildlife, herb and local legend hikes. The formats differ: the marked routes are designated as hiking trails, while the guided tours are structured around specific themes. Check the current dates of the themed hikes before making your plans.

In Oberkreuzstetten, vineyards, gentle hills and the well-maintained cellar lane invite you to enjoy leisurely walks. The Oberkreuzstetten cellar lane has two rows of cellars. It includes more than 50 cellar tunnels, dug 10 to 20 metres into the hillside. The interiors are accessible only during events or guided tours. You can therefore choose between a walk through the countryside and an occasion that also gives you access to the cellar interiors.

Local history and buildings

The moated castle and the village of Niederkreuzstetten were first mentioned in a document in 1125. In Niederkreuzstetten, the church is dedicated to Saint James and has a Gothic choir. On the Ochsenberg in Oberkreuzstetten stands a substantial prehistoric ring fort, with sections of up to four concentric ramparts. Those interested in local history will find different periods represented here: a prehistoric site and the first documented mention of the moated castle and village in 1125.

The Waldkirchlein chapel in Neubau-Kreuzstetten was completed in 1957 and remains a venue for Hubertus Masses held according to tradition. The year marks the completion of the building, while the Masses represent a continuing tradition. If you would like to include a Hubertus Mass in your travel plans, check the current dates in advance. The Parkbad Kreuzstetten also has a historical connection: it was endowed by Empress Elisabeth.

Climbing courses and outdoor pool

The OCHYS Waldfreizeitpark Kreuzstetten offers a different activity, with seven themed climbing courses at heights of 2 to 10 metres. The number of courses and their height range give you a concrete idea of this attraction, which differs from walks and hikes. The outdoor pool in Niederkreuzstetten is the Parkbad Kreuzstetten. If you plan to go swimming, check the current opening dates.
