Upper Austria: summer holidays in the Mühlviertel

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Summer, sun, hills! The warm temperatures can be enjoyed in a variety of ways in the Mühlviertler Alm Freistadt holiday region.

Whether leisurely cycling on beer bike tours, hiking next to fragrant herb fields, archery in shady forests or swimming in refreshing rivers and natural bathing ponds. Here nature, cuisine, sport and culture can be experienced in harmony.

The long-distance hiking trails Johannesweg, Stoakraftweg, Nordwaldkammweg or Castles and Castles Trail show the diversity of the extensive hilly landscape. If you prefer a faster pace, you can go on a bike tour - leisurely cycling along hop fields, hill biking on the Tour de Alm for mountain bike fans or sporty hill and valley rides on racing bikes on asphalted goods and municipal roads. Or at a trot and gallop through the natural landscape along the countless watercourses. The appropriately equipped hosts make the Mühlviertel a longing destination for trail riding. When you visit one of the 13 archery and disc golf courses, the green golf course of the GC Mühlviertel St. Oswald-Freistadt with 18 holes or have a picnic with regional delicacies, you can experience the granite landscape of the Mühlviertel a little more slowly. The authentic inn culture with products from the BioRegion Mühlviertel, six regional breweries, family-run businesses and new, modern hotels ensure your physical well-being. There is something for every taste.

Art and culture fans will not only find blue prints, stone yards and winged altars on the Gothic Street in the hilly world. The medieval brewing town of Freistadt, in the heart of the Mühlviertel, has impressive and almost completely preserved defense systems and impresses with its small alleys and courtyards, which can also be viewed more closely as part of a guided tour. A special summer highlight is the international street art festival "Festival Fantastika" in Freistadt's old town from June 30th to July 1st, 2023. Artists from all over the world will amaze you, make you laugh and look forward to so-called "hat money". A bathing and lazing day at one of the natural bathing ponds such as the Rubener pond in the Tannermoor in Liebenau completes the summer hill world experience.
