Hausmannstätten offers several specific points of interest for a stay: Gothic church furnishings, a centrally located park on the Ferbersbach, a family hike and local art. These topics appeal to different interests and can be included in your plans independently of one another. If you are interested in culture, you can explore the group of apostles and the Kunstrampe; if you would like to spend time outdoors, you can choose between two different types of activities: the Generationenpark and the GU-Süd circular hiking trail.
Gothic Details in the Parish Church
The Church of the Holy Trinity in Hausmannstätten contains a Gothic group of apostles dating from around 1500, as well as a Gothic sacrament niche. The group of apostles is a figurative element; the niche complements it as a separate part of the church furnishings. The date “around 1500” gives an approximate period for the group and does not refer to a specific year of creation. Those interested in religious art and architecture will find two distinct details here rather than simply a general church motif. If you would like to see the interior furnishings in particular, check in advance whether a visit is possible.
Generationenpark on the Ferbersbach
The Generationenpark is in the heart of Hausmannstätten and extends for just under 400 metres along the Ferbersbach. This gives the park a considerable stretch along the stream, while also placing it in the heart of the town. Its facilities include play and sports equipment, a football pitch and a volleyball court, a pavilion, a drinking fountain and a public toilet. A range of facilities for play and exercise is available, complemented by other amenities on the grounds.
The facilities are open to the public; reservations or prolonged exclusive use of the pitches are not possible. For groups, this means planning a visit without a pre-booked pitch or one reserved for their sole, ongoing use. The access point to the Ferbersbach can be used to cool off in summer; access and summer use may depend on local conditions. If necessary, check the current situation before your visit.
Hiking and Time Outdoors
The GU-Süd circular hiking trail is suitable for hikes with the whole family. The distinction from the park is useful when choosing an activity: the circular trail is an option for a family hike together, while the Generationenpark focuses on play and sports facilities and access to the stream. You can decide whether you would rather go for a hike or spend time using the park’s facilities.
Local Art at the Municipal Office
At an exhibition in 2025, the Kunstrampe Hausmannstätten showed works by its 14 painting members at the municipal office. Individual exhibition dates are limited in time. If you would like to include the Kunstrampe specifically in your travel plans, check whether a suitable date falls within your travel dates. This lets you plan this cultural highlight around a specific exhibition, while the Gothic features of the parish church offer a different historical connection to Hausmannstätten.
