Mühlviertel holiday region

When the first snow covers the gentle hills of the Mühlviertel and bathes the forests in glistening white, the region is transformed into a silent winter fairy tale. Clear, frosty air and tranquil landscapes invite you to take a deep breath and recharge your batteries - far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Whether snowshoeing through snow-covered paths, cross-country skiing across wide meadows or on the ski slopes - winter here is versatile and authentic. Romantic carriage rides and crackling fireplaces in rustic parlours make the cold season particularly atmospheric. Down-to-earth specialities such as "Bratl in der Rein", farmer's doughnuts or hot "Mostschalchen" provide real moments of pleasure.

Winter in the Mühlviertel holiday region is quiet, gentle and genuine. A region where slowing down, experiencing nature and warmth go hand in hand.

Snowshoe & winter hiking

In the Mühlviertel, winter shows its quiet, impressive side: gentle hills, snow-covered forests and glistening meadows invite you to go winter hiking and snowshoeing. Away from the pistes, paths full of peace, clear air and unspoilt nature open up.

Whether on marked winter hiking trails or cross-country on snowshoes - the exercise in the snow-covered landscape combines sporting activity with relaxed deceleration. Routes around Bad Leonfelden, on the Sternstein or in Granitland, where viewpoints and cosy places to stop for refreshments line the way, are particularly popular.

Snowshoeing and winter hiking in the Mühlviertel is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to enjoy winter in all its quiet beauty - step by step, at their own pace.
