Eggenburg town centre

Highlight • Settlement

Right on the main square of the medieval town, you can sit in front of an inn and enjoy the cityscape. The town has a completely preserved city wall. Unique cultural monuments and museums invite visitors to travel back in time.

History:
The granite plateau above the Schmida, on which Eggenburg is founded, was already inhabited by people in prehistoric times, from the Neolithic period. The town was founded in the Babenberg period (976-1246). After the turn of the millennium, Lower Austria was settled as far as the Nordwald - today's Waldviertel. To secure this area, the fortified border town of Eggenburg was built around 1160/70, already with market function. The first documented mentions of Eginpurch date from the 12th century. In the dispute between Premysl Ottokar and Rudolf von Habsburg, Eggenburg sided with the Habsburgs, who then renewed the town's city rights on August 13, 1277.
A fire disaster in 1808 led to the town's decline. With the construction of the Franz Josef Railway in 1870, Eggenburg could be reached from Vienna in two hours. The population grew again, and the garden city initiative of the merchant Franz Gamerith led to the town expanding.

Cyclist Rest Stop Klein-Reinprechtsdorf

Highlight • Rest Area

In Klein-Reinprechtsdorf, an old EVN transformer has been converted into a “cyclist’s rest stop”. There you will find a well-stocked fridge with regional wines, juices, coffee and snacks. The self-service concept allows you to fortify yourself as you wish and relax on the seating.
