The hiking village of Göstling is situated on the border with Styria.
With popular excursion destinations such as the Mendlingtal experience park, the Hochkar with its 360° Skytour and the Leckermoos high moor, the village attracts many visitors every year.
Forest-rich gorges, remnants of primeval forest, waterfalls, rocks and peaks offer walks ranging from leisurely to challenging, whilst the Ybbstal brine baths provide the perfect way to unwind afterwards.
The Hochkar is a true winter paradise for skiers. But there are also small yet excellent cross-country trails in the valley, where you can enjoy the winter landscape in Nordic style.
Göstling an der Ybbs delights visitors with an impressive variety of nature and mountain experiences. From panoramic peaks and wild, romantic gorges to varied hikes amidst the imposing mountain scenery of the Ybbstal Alps – nature lovers, ramblers and those seeking relaxation will all find something to their liking here. Three special highlights showcase the region’s full beauty: the Hochkar, Lower Austria’s highest mountain; the idyllic Mendling Valley with its historic timber rafting areas; and the hike to the Ybbstalerhütte, which delights visitors with unique views and a genuine mountain hut atmosphere.
