Gerersdorf

The municipality of Gerersdorf in the district of Sankt Pölten-Land was first mentioned in a document in 1040 - back then under the name "Geroltestorff", derived from the prefect Gerold II, who was active in the 9th century. Today, Gerersdorf comprises twelve cadastral communities - from Völlerndorf and Grillenhöfe to Hetzersdorf and Loipersdorf. The landscape is characterized by beautiful cycling and hiking routes and traditional inns. There are also many sporting and health initiatives for locals and guests.

Gerersdorf: Cycle into the Pielach Valley and the Wachau region
Over 20 kilometers of the easily accessible Pielachtal cycle path run through Gerersdorf, Markersdorf and Prinzersdorf. The route leads into the heart of the Pielach Valley - and on to Kirchberg. Cyclists are thus invited to "experience" both the green Pielach Valley and the magnificent Wachau from here.

Gerersdorf on the move: from happiness hike to ten-thousand-step trail
The active community organizes great hikes all year round: whether it's the Fit March, Whitsun Monday hike, pilgrimage or happiness hike. Gerersdorf also has a "Tut gut!" trail and a wide range of events for young and old.

Historical sights
The parish church of St. John the Baptist is historically significant: the hall church has a Gothic core as well as post-Gothic and Baroque elements. The church tower, which was destroyed in 1945, was completely rebuilt by 1954. The old vicarage is also an important contemporary witness in Gerersdorf: it originally dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries.
