Gaming is a place where history and the mountain landscape go hand in hand. The Ötscher dominates the landscape, the Kartause Gaming tells of an eventful past, and the Ötscherland-Express takes you through the region on historic railway tracks. Three special aspects of Gaming that are well worth a visit.
Consecrated in 1342, the Gaming Charterhouse was the largest charterhouse in all of Central Europe and one of the wealthiest monasteries in the country. Today, the renovated property houses a four-star hotel, an event center, a restaurant, an on-site brewery, and a university institute.
On the Ötscherland-Express, passengers departing from Kienberg-Gaming can look forward to a journey where speed is of no consequence. The museum train chugs leisurely along the Ybbstalbahn’s mountain route, passing the historic Kartause Gaming monastery and crossing two trestle-style viaducts—of which there are only three in Austria—all the way to Pfaffenschlag.
Gaming-Lackenhof am Ötscher combines stunning natural scenery, living history and a wide range of experiences. The Kartause Gaming monastery invites you on a fascinating journey back in time. The area around Lackenhof offers hiking trails, nature adventures and magnificent views of the Ötscher. In winter, there is a wide variety of ski runs, cross-country trails and snowshoe tours to enjoy. This makes the region a special destination in every season for families, active holidaymakers and those seeking relaxation in the beautiful Mostviertel.
Discover a beautiful hiking region where varied trails, stunning landscapes and magnificent views promise unforgettable experiences in the great outdoors. In winter, perfectly groomed slopes, idyllic cross-country trails and atmospheric snowshoe walks invite you to enjoy active days out. Let yourself be inspired by traditional brewing craftsmanship and regional beers at our two breweries, or enjoy relaxing moments at the Ötscherland outdoor pool in summer and in our indoor pool during the winter months.
