Schönau an der Triesting: excursion tips for young and old
The local history museum tells the story of the village, which was first mentioned in a document in 1179. Johann Strauss wrote the operettas "One Night in Venice" and "The Gypsy Baron" in the Leutzendorf Villa. This is why it is also known as the "Strauss Villa". A hike or bike tour invites you to explore the Schönau ponds. This is where the Thermenweg and Triestingau cycle paths meet, as well as the connection to the Triestingtal cycle path. Another animal tip is the Circle-C-Lamaranch run by the Krachler family, who are happy to plan individual llama hikes for their visitors.

Excursion highlight Schönau Castle
The mystical "Temple of the Night" at Schönau Castle can be visited on guided tours by torchlight: The garden grotto, which is unique in Europe, was built around 1800 - as a largely underground labyrinth. The restored apartments of the historic hunting lodge invite you to spend the night in style. Guests also have exclusive access to the castle park. Schönau Castle is also home to the Waldorf kindergarten and the residence of the Rudolf Steiner country school.
