A stay in Moosburg in Carinthia can be tailored to a range of interests: the Carolingian era and architectural history, a landscaped trail or outdoor exercise. The differences between these themes can help you choose what to focus on during your trip.

The Carolingian Era and Architectural History

The Carolingian Museum presents the history of the Carolingian era, with a particular focus on King and Emperor Arnulf of Carinthia. Its exhibits include archaeological finds, Roman ceramics, ancient weapons, documents and jewellery. The museum thus covers various types of historical evidence, while the Carolingian era provides its thematic framework.

The buildings also offer different points of interest. The New Castle in Moosburg is a notable late-medieval tower building. The tower known as Arnulfsfeste is thought to date from the late 13th or early 14th century. Moosburg Parish Church is a Baroque hall church incorporating an earlier Late Gothic building. This means two building phases come together in a single church. Those interested in architecture will find not only a tower building here, but also a distinctive combination of earlier and later church construction. A hall church is a church with a single, unified main interior; the term describes the spatial layout, not the period in which it was built.

Glücksparcours and Garden

The Glücksparcours is an artistically designed experience trail featuring the “Path of Abundance,” the “Path of Silence” and around 50 stations. Its route leads from the centre of Moosburg past picturesque ponds to Moosburg Castle and back again. On the castle lawn, the Paradise Garden forms part of the trail and invites people of all ages to linger. The stations and route give this experience a different character from a single historic building: the town centre, ponds and castle are the waypoints named, while the garden adds a place to pause along the trail.

Exercise and Activities

Moosburg offers opportunities for Nordic walking. The Moosburg-Pörtschach golf courses comprise an 18-hole course and a 9-hole course. The two different hole counts offer a clear distinction if you are planning to play golf during your trip. Fishing is possible at the Moosburg ponds, including Mitterteich and Damnigteich, with day permits. This gives you a choice of different activities: golf on either of two course sizes, Nordic walking or fishing at the named ponds. You can plan your stay around whichever of these activities suits you.
