Discover Hengersberg

Hengersberg can be discovered through a wide variety of experiences: a neo-Gothic chapel, two swimming pools, a church used as an event venue and a section of the Danube-Ilz Cycle Path. This lets you give culture, water and activity different priorities as you plan your trip. The special details of each place and offering can help you decide what appeals most.

A neo-Gothic chapel with a clear history

St. Joseph’s Chapel is a striking historical landmark in Hengersberg. Hengersberg brewer Josef Unverdorben had it built in 1878. The builder, location and year are all clearly documented. Its style is also distinctive: the neo-Gothic style revived Gothic forms at a later time. Architecture enthusiasts will therefore find not only a historic building here, but also a clearly defined architectural style.

Water activities at the outdoor and indoor pools

Hengersberg Wave Pool combines several pools with other leisure activities. Facilities include a wave pool and a 50-metre swimming pool. There is also a children’s pool with a play hill featuring water-play equipment—a detail specifically aimed at children that may be useful when planning a trip together. The grounds also have a beach volleyball court. If you choose activities based on what you want to do, you can combine swimming and water play with a game of volleyball here.

Hengersberg Indoor Pool has a different focus: its pool is 25 metres long. It also has a warm-water pool with massage jets, a steam bath and a relaxation room. Comparing it with the outdoor pool highlights their different features: the outdoor pool offers a wave pool, children’s pool and beach volleyball court, while the indoor pool offers warm water, a steam bath and a relaxation area in addition to its swimming pool. You can consider which type of swimming experience is most appealing for your trip.

Events at Frauenberg Church

Frauenberg Church in Hengersberg is used predominantly for secular purposes and is available as an event venue. Possible events include concerts, readings, theatre and similar events. This offers a different cultural perspective from St. Joseph’s Chapel: here, the focus is on a possible events programme, while the chapel is a historic building with a named builder and construction year. If you plan to visit, check with the organiser for the current programme and access details.

A paved cycle route on a former railway line

A 38-kilometre section of the Danube-Ilz Cycle Path between Hengersberg and Tittling follows a former railway line. The section is paved and is also suitable for inline skaters. Before setting off, check for current notices about possible temporary diversions.

Choose accommodation to suit your travel interests

This helps you focus your research on your travel group’s interests without automatically giving any one experience greater importance. The right accommodation for you depends on your personal preferences for your stay.
