You’ll want to explore nearby Mariazell. What’s 25 miles when you’ve got a set of wheels? The drive itself is half the fun! Among the first stops you make here should be Mariazell Basilica, Niederalpl Ski Resort and Hofstatt Sessellift. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Krems an der Donau, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Gottweig Abbey. (But we’d also recommend Beethovenhaus Gneixendorf and Karikaturmuseum.)
