The Ybbstal Alps have much to offer beyond their scenic beauty. The villages, pubs, museums and workshops also reveal what has shaped the region and keeps it alive to this day. Added to this are events, markets and special moments that provide variety throughout the year.
The aroma wafting from the pub kitchen, the clang of a hammer in the smithy, a special find in the museum, or an evening at an event. It is often precisely these little moments that bring a region to life.
In the region’s restaurants, the focus is on local ingredients, traditional dishes and a cosy atmosphere. At markets and in local shops, you’ll find produce from the surrounding area, little specialities and plenty of things that are perfect to take home with you.
Throughout the year, concerts, festivals, markets and other events offer a range of special experiences. The Wochenpost provides a concise overview of what’s on in the region over the coming days.
Blacksmithing is closely linked to the history of the Ybbstal Alps and can still be seen in many places today. Schloss Rothschild and the region’s museums tell the story of times gone by, notable figures and the development of the Ybbstal valley.
When fire, light and tradition come together, special moments are created. ‘Flammende Weihnacht’ creates an atmospheric Advent season, whilst the Krampus and Perchten parades showcase the region’s authentic and wild side.
