Discover Himberg

Himberg offers several distinct points of interest for a stay: St. George’s Parish Church, with its different construction phases; the Kalter Gang, a groundwater stream that flows through the town; and activities such as the forest swimming pool, golf and cycling. Local history, a swim in the forest, the golf course and a bike tour appeal to different interests. By prioritising these interests, you can plan your stay around the topic that matters most to you.

Church and historic buildings

St. George’s Parish Church was built in 1130. Its Romanesque structure has an Early Gothic choir and a Late Gothic tower. This brings together three clearly identifiable construction phases in one building. If you are interested in architecture, this combination offers a tangible connection to the town’s history. Six additional historical information panels have also been installed on historic buildings in Himberg. These panels draw attention to other buildings in the town and extend the cultural and historical focus beyond the church.

Kalter Gang and forest swimming pool

The landscape also has a clear point of reference: the Kalter Gang is a groundwater stream that flows through Himberg. Himberg’s forest swimming pool is set in a small woodland and is easy to combine with a walk. The pool offers everything that a large swimming pool offers. Before visiting, check the opening hours and the current availability of specific facilities. The stream and the forest swimming pool play different roles in planning: the Kalter Gang identifies a water feature in the town, while a visit to the forest swimming pool can be combined with a walk.

Cycling and golf

Himberg is one of the stops on the Triestingau Cycle Route. Cyclists can follow flat paths along the Triesting through a natural floodplain area. When planning your route, both Himberg’s role as a stop and the character of the route described here are relevant. Trail conditions and signposting may change; check the current conditions before setting off.

The Golf Club Gutenhof, also known as COLONY CLUB GUTENHOF, is Austria’s first 36-hole golf course. It is set amid the old alluvial forests of the Gutenhof estate. The East and West courses meet high international standards in design and course quality. The course thus combines a distinctive place in Austrian golf with a specific connection to the landscape. For specific plans, it is worth checking the latest information about the course and its operations, as standards and operations can change.

Getting here and cycling

Trains on S-Bahn line S60 stop at Himberg station, running on services to Bruck an der Leitha and Vienna, as well as to Wiener Neustadt Central Station. Check the latest timetable before travelling, as services may change. Himberg station also has 45 bicycle parking spaces in a Bike & Ride facility. Check its current facilities before your trip. You can therefore consider train timetables and bicycle parking as separate aspects of your travel planning.
