Discover Tulbing

If you’re looking for a hotel in Tulbing, narrowing down your options by theme can help: would you like to explore church art and history, plan your time around named trails, or discover the town’s connection to wine? Tulbing stretches from the northern slope of the Vienna Woods to the Tullnerfeld. The area’s many points of interest include religious buildings, historical monuments, routes and a show vineyard.

Church Art in Tulbing

The Parish Church of St. Mauritius in Tulbing stands on elevated ground southeast of the town centre and has had its current form since 1489. Its Baroque high altar features a painting of St. Mauritius entering heaven. The organ also has its own historical date: it dates from 1691.

Five listed Baroque stone groups stand at the church entrance. A sculptor from Tulln created them in 1736 from Zogelsdorf sandstone; they depict the five mysteries of the Rosary. The architecture, imagery and sculptures offer different starting points if you’re interested in the area’s religious art and history.

Tulbingerkogel: Chapel and Views

The Tulbingerkogel Chapel is dedicated to St. John of God. Mass is generally held there weekly, as well as on special feast days. As the schedule may change, check the current times if you’re planning to attend a service.

The Planet Trail runs via Jahnhöhe directly to Tulbingerkogel. The Leopold Figl Viewing Tower, built of concrete and designed by Prof. Clemens Holzmeister, also stands there. From the tower, you can see as far as the Alps and the Danube. The trail, chapel and tower offer different themes around which to plan a stay based on your interests.

Compare Routes by Length and Surface

The extended Steps Trail is 8.7 kilometres long and covers about 12,430 steps. The approximate step count provides a second way to gauge the route’s scale alongside its length. The Hängender Stein route follows a path to Tulbing and has a mixed surface of 54 percent asphalt, 40 percent gravel and 6 percent forest or meadow. The two routes therefore offer different points of comparison: the Steps Trail’s length and approximate step count, and Hängender Stein’s surface composition. This lets you compare the routes according to the aspect that matters most for your plans.

More Historical Sites and Buildings

Katzelsdorf an der Zeil also has named reminders of local history. The St. John of Nepomuk statue there is a sandstone statue erected in 1735. The Parish Church of St. Giles in Katzelsdorf features elements of a fortified church and Late Romanesque architectural features. The Hubertus Chapel stands on Passauerstraße towards Passauerhof and was built by the Katzelsdorf hunting community.

Another distinct point of interest is Wilfersdorf Chapel, whose interior was built in 1905. Today’s Tulbing Castle was formerly the monks’ manor of Seitenstetten Abbey. Together, these buildings point to different facets of the region’s architectural and religious history, from Late Romanesque features to historic chapels and castle history.

Grape Varieties and Landscape

The International Sommelier Vineyard is a show vineyard featuring different grape varieties from 30 countries. It adds another local point of interest to the churches, buildings and routes. Tulbing’s geographical span, from the northern slope of the Vienna Woods to the Tullnerfeld, also provides a clear sense of the landscape when planning a trip.
