You can base your decision to visit Weißenbach bei Liezen on specific interests: a hiking route leads towards Weißenbach/Liezen, a church stands out for its construction, and local history reaches back to a nail forge founded in 1738. Golf is another attraction in a striking landscape.
Hiking and scenic destinations
The Lexgrabentour leads towards Weißenbach/Liezen. Towards the end, you may get a chance to admire the Weißenbacher Talschluss and its waterfall. If you like having a specific natural attraction in mind when you hike, this is a useful point of reference when choosing a route. The leisure and bathing lake facility offers a different scenic perspective: it looks out towards the Weißenbacher Wände. It reopened in 1996, is in the southern part of the municipality of Weißenbach bei Liezen, and covers a total of 25,000 m². It is also accessible by bicycle. The two highlights are distinct: the possible view of the waterfall towards the end of the tour, and the view of the Weißenbacher Wände from the facility.
Church architecture and local history
The new church in Weißenbach was consecrated in 1968 and was the first church in Styria to be built using prefabricated construction. The sacred building is made of wood and reinforced concrete. Its floor plan is cross-shaped, while the roof structure is designed as an equilateral triangle. Its construction, materials and geometry give the church a clearly defined architectural profile. If you are interested in modern church architecture, it is a distinctive feature to consider when choosing your destination. The 1968 consecration also places the building in a specific period; its structural features make clear what sets it apart architecturally.
The scythe works in Weißenbach are another link to the past. Veit Moser founded them as a nail forge in 1738. This original purpose adds a specific detail to local history. The church and the works represent clearly different subjects: the church is defined by prefabricated construction and geometric form, while the works tell the story of a named craft and its founder. This offers different ways to explore Weißenbach’s history, rather than focusing on just one attraction.
Golf and landscape
Golf is another distinct area of interest. The Golf- & Landclub Ennstal Weissenbach has had an 18-hole course since 2001. The golf course in Weißenbach bei Liezen is situated by the Wörschacher Moor and lined with mature trees; the facility is in a Natura 2000 European nature conservation area. The landscape setting is therefore as much a part of its character as the number of holes. If you include golf when choosing a destination, you can also consider the location by the moor, the mature trees and the protected area as special features.
When looking for a hotel, you can choose what to focus on in Weißenbach bei Liezen: the hiking route and leisure facility offer different ways to enjoy nature, the church and scythe works represent different aspects of local history, and golf is a separate sporting option.
