Spielberg: Motorsport, Culture and Indoor Experiences

Spielberg combines motorsport at the Red Bull Ring with cultural history and a range of leisure activities. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first decide what you want your stay to focus on: motorsport and driving experiences, listed buildings, or indoor activities. In addition to top-class motorsport events, Playworld Spielberg offers several named areas; VR games, karting, and rides with Noriker horses are also available. Comparing these highlights can help you plan your stay around your itinerary.

Motorsport at the Red Bull Ring

The Red Bull Ring is located in the green Aichfeld valley and is surrounded by the Murtal mountains. It hosts top-class motorsport events, and its gates are open to visitors all year round. Visitor parking is free in the designated and clearly marked areas. Information for visitors about opening hours and parking may change, so check the latest details before you travel.

At the Red Bull Ring, visitors can enjoy driving experiences in the Driving Center, on the racetrack itself, or off-road. The Red Bull Ring Tour includes stops at Race Control, the Media Center, and the VIP lounges, among other places. This means you can choose between driving experiences that focus on where you drive and a tour that visits named areas.

Cultural History and Heritage Protection

Schloss Spielberg is a listed building and gave the present-day town of Spielberg its name. Its official heritage listing is dated June 30, 2025. The Catholic parish church of St. Martin in Lind and St. Michael's Chapel in Lind are also listed buildings; their listings are likewise dated June 30, 2025. The castle and the town's name are therefore historically connected, while the parish church and chapel bring two religious buildings in Lind into focus.

Indoor Activities and Other Experiences

Playworld Spielberg is an indoor amusement park for families, with a Kids Area, a Jump Area, and a Laser Area. Within Playworld, Zero Latency Spielberg offers free-roam virtual reality gaming across more than 170 m² for up to eight players at a time. The area and maximum player count provide two different points of reference for the VR experience: the size of the play area and the possible group size.

Virtual Reality Cafe Spielberg offers a range of VR escape rooms and arcade VR games. This gives you two more VR formats to choose from, alongside the free-roam gaming at Playworld. Indoorkart Spielberg offers weather-independent karting fun across around 3,000 m². Unlike the virtual gaming options, karting is the main attraction here.

Norikerhof Deutinger offers carriage and sleigh rides with Noriker horses. On request, Norikerhof can add a small picnic or a refreshment stop to a carriage route. The picnic and stop are optional additions to the carriage route.
