Hiking and Cycling in Warth
The well-marked trails through the wooded landscape are a good reason to go hiking. They offer views of the Bucklige Welt and the Rax, Schneeberg and Wechsel areas. Forest paths and viewpoints are therefore the main focus of the hiking options. If you enjoy exploring on foot, you can compare this with cycling along the Pitten.
The EuroVelo 9 runs through the municipality of Warth, following a scenic route along the Pitten. For the Haßbachtal e-bike route, Scheiblingkirchen-Warth station is named as a public transport access point. These details answer different questions when choosing a route: the EuroVelo 9 provides a reference point along the Pitten, while the station is the named public transport access point for the e-bike route. Warth has e-bike charging stations at the Marktplatz, by Café-Bäckerei Fischböck and at Siaß'n Eck. Before travelling, check the route, transport connections and current availability of the charging stations so that your plans suit your travel dates.
Castles and Local History
Schloss Steyersberg, also known as Feste Steußberg, was probably built in the last third of the 12th century. In 1600, Ehrenreich Wurmbrand-Stuppach acquired the castle and with it the so-called “Vollherrschaft” (full lordship); the small castle was subsequently expanded into a spacious, comfortable residence. Both its probable origins and a later transformation of the complex are relevant to local history.
The HaĂźbach castle ruins stand directly above HaĂźbach; their origins may date back to a 10th-century residential tower. The Kirchau castle ruins are in the forest and are overgrown with trees. Gutenbrunn was built in 1160 by Heinrich and Wilhelm von Kirchau. These sites offer different historical points of interest: a possible early building history, ruins in a wooded setting and a building with a specified year and builders.
Concerts, Festivals and Markets
Local music groups and choirs perform concerts in Warth. Various festivals and markets are also held throughout the year, with dates varying. If you are planning your trip around a concert, festival or market, check the specific date for your chosen travel period. This lets you plan around a particular event date, with hiking trails and a cycling route offering other possible highlights for your stay.
