Lannach brings together several distinct attractions for a stay: at the Pond Park, ponds filled with water meet nature and adventure trails; the Bike Trail Park features trails and practice areas; and Lannach Castle adds a cultural and historical touch. There is also the Magonia Garden, with its historic roses. When planning a trip, you can choose a focus based on your own interests—nature, cycling or culture, each with specific offerings.
Pond Park: Water, Nature and Exploration
Of the 30 former brick ponds, 19 water-filled ponds remain at Lannach Pond Park. The comparison between the 19 remaining and 30 former brick ponds gives a sense of the scale of this waterscape. In the southern part, ponds, an alder carr and the Stork Meadow form a protected landscape reserved for nature. The northern part, by contrast, is an adventure trail for local residents and visitors, particularly school classes from the region. The park therefore has distinct focal points: the protected landscape takes centre stage in the south, while the adventure trail is the focus in the north.
The offerings at the Biosphere Water Wilderness Lannach Pond Park include a pond park app, a shrub trail, a tree trail and information on exploring nature with children’s groups. Nature education thus offers different ways to engage: the two trails focus on different groups of plants, while the nature exploration information involves children’s groups; the app complements these topics. Together with the protected part of the landscape and the adventure trail, this gives a varied picture of the pond park, with nature and exploration each having their own focus.
Cycling: Trail Park and Lannach Tour
The Lannach Bike Trail Park has twelve different trails and lines, as well as three practice areas. Two possible starting points are listed for the Lannach Tour: Lannach railway station or the town hall square next to the tobacconist. The information therefore answers different planning questions: for the Trail Park, it specifies the scale and practice areas; for the tour, it gives a choice of starting point. If you want to get a sense of the cycling options in Lannach, you can use these differences as a guide rather than treating the two offerings as the same. The specific information ranges from the scale of the Trail Park to the two listed starting points for the tour.
Garden and Castle
The Magonia Garden covers 5,000 m² and contains 300 historic roses. These two figures describe different aspects: the garden’s area and the number of historic roses it contains. Lannach Castle was built by Christof von Galler between 1590 and 1610. The Styrian list of the Federal Monuments Authority, dated 23 June 2026, lists the castle as protected by official decree. The construction period and protected status offer two separate perspectives on the castle: the period places its construction in context, while heritage protection refers to its legal status. The garden and the castle thus add different cultural dimensions to Lannach.
Carriage Rides in the Region
Bossler Haflinger Stud offers carriage rides for small travel groups in the region. Advance booking is required, so if you would like to include this activity in your travel plans, you should book it in advance. The limit to small groups and the booking requirement are integral to this offering and are important to know before adding it to your stay.
