When staying in Sankt Veit im Mühlkreis, you can choose from several clearly distinct interests: themed trails, local history at the St. Veit History House, and play options at the playground. Particularly helpful for planning is the difference between the Chapel and Meditation Trail and the Hoamatland Trail: one leads to chapels and wayside shrines, while the other climbs steeply through a shady forest to the Hansberg. If local history is to be your main focus, you should also bear in mind that museum visits must be arranged by phone.

Hiking trails between meditation and the Hansberg

The Chapel and Meditation Trail leads to numerous chapels and wayside shrines; meditation panels are also part of the route. This brings together visible religious imagery and a meditative theme. If this combination interests you, you can make the trail the focus of your visit. It offers a different emphasis from a hike described in terms of a clear destination and a steep ascent.

The Hoamatland Trail starts at St. Veit village square and climbs steeply through a shady forest to the Hansberg. The steep ascent is a specific point to consider when planning; take it into account when deciding whether this hike suits your stay. Along the trail, information stations describe the life and work of Hans Schnopfhagen. Thus, besides its named destination, the trail also offers a biographical theme.

The two trails therefore have different focuses: chapels, wayside shrines and meditation panels on one, and a forest climb to the Hansberg with stations about Hans Schnopfhagen on the other.

Local history at the St. Veit History House

The St. Veit local museum, the St. Veit History House, is housed in a building constructed in 1910. It presents the history of the village from the Stone Age to the present day. Its broad historical scope makes it a good choice for travellers who want to learn about the village not only through its trails but also through its history.

The History House includes a dog’s gravestone dating from the early 17th century, which gave rise to the saying “In St. Veit the dog is buried.” Alongside the broad historical scope, this individual object adds a specific point of interest: the stone is linked to an expression that originated in Sankt Veit.

Visits and guided tours at the St. Veit History House are available by prior telephone arrangement. If you are planning a visit or a tour, arrange it by phone in advance.

Playground and trip planning

The playground in Sankt Veit im Mühlkreis has a basket swing, a slide, a zip line and a seesaw. It also has a climbing tower with a slide, a triple horizontal bar, a balance course and a climbing pyramid. The equipment thus offers different kinds of play, from swinging and sliding to climbing and balancing. If you are travelling with children and a particular piece of equipment matters to you, you can take it into account when planning.

The playground equipment may change over time. Check the current facilities before your visit, especially if you are coming specifically for a particular piece of equipment.
