The parish church of St. Nicholas was built around 1220 and rebuilt several times. Originally Romanesque, it now has a Baroque appearance. It has been renovated several times, and parts have been added to it. The facade was last renovated in 2012.

This venerable locomotive stands right next to Bad Erlach station. As a narrow-gauge locomotive, it can no longer run here, even as a museum railway, but it is a beautiful piece of railway history.

Lately, on my tours, I keep stumbling across memorials to the last World War. Here I learned that our former Federal President Kirchschläger also played a rather inglorious role in the German Wehrmacht.

Like many other places, Bad Erlach is suffering from the relocation of businesses from the center; some former pubs are empty, as are many magnificent buildings belonging to companies.

A nice bridge over the Pitten, which later forms the Leitha together with the Schwarza. At the moment, however, there is once again no water in the Schwarza, which means that only the water from the Pitten feeds the Leitha, as can be clearly seen a few hundred meters further on.
