Fels am Wagram connects trails in the Hammergraben with collection and cultural themes. The Wine and Nature Trail leads to the Felser Warte; the local history museum brings together historical objects from the market town and a palaeontological exhibition. There is also a cycle path through the town, castle architecture, a memorial and a sculpture group in Gösing. This lets you choose between nature, local history and architecture, rather than limiting your stay to a single theme.
Trails and Views in the Hammergraben
The Wine and Nature Trail in the Hammergraben leads directly to the Felser Warte. Its theme is clear from its name, and its named destination gives the route a specific focus. The observation tower at the northern end of the Hammergraben is freely accessible at all times. This is useful guidance for anyone who would like to make a viewpoint a distinct part of their time outdoors. The Wagram Trail runs through Fels am Wagram. For cyclists, it offers a different way to experience the town than the nature trail: the focus here is on Fels as a place to travel through, while the trail links nature and wine themes with the Felser Warte. When choosing between the two, you can consider whether a themed walk or a cycling route better suits your trip.
Local History Museum: Everyday History and Palaeontological Finds
The local history museum in Fels Castle, Schulplatz 1, 3481 Fels am Wagram, houses historical objects from the market town. These include tools and objects related to viticulture, household life, religion and private life. The collection therefore highlights more than a single theme: it ranges from work and viticulture to the domestic, religious and personal aspects of life in days gone by. Anyone interested in local history through tangible objects will find several ways to explore it within one museum. The castle’s local history museum also houses a palaeontological exhibition featuring unique finds. It complements the historical objects in the collection with palaeontological exhibits and offers a different perspective on the items on display. If you are planning to visit the museum, it is best to check the latest visitor information in advance.
Architecture, Remembrance and Wine Motifs
Thürnthal Castle is a Baroque-classical building whose architecture combines High Baroque forms with classical antiquity-inspired stylistic elements. The term sums up this blend; if you are interested in architecture, the interplay of forms provides a specific point of interest. At the main square, the “Fels of Remembrance” memorial commemorates the events of 1945. It offers a clear connection to local commemorative culture. In Gösing, a group of sculptures depicts Bacchus riding a barrel and pouring wine from a jug. This brings together two distinct ways of engaging with wine: in the local history museum, through objects related to viticulture; in Gösing, through the scene depicting Bacchus.
