Terrassen-Camping Traisen

Hiking and mountain biking trails for all abilities around the flat and mountainous areas surround the site, and the Traisental cycle path covering 111 kilometres between St Pölten and Mariazell passes nearby. Heaps more hiking trails are around the Gutenstein Alps, a 30-minute drive away. Going townwards, St Pölten is around half an hour's drive and the flower city of Tulln is reachable in about an hour. Take your camera and sightseeing hat too to the comely wooden houses and spectacular mountain views of Lackenhof, on the Ötscher river, and (but of course) around the coffee houses, Baroque architecture, opera houses, theatres and many museums of fab Vienna. Both cities are around an hour and 15 minutes' drive, or about an hour and a half for Vienna via nearby public transport. For pampering, posh old villas, a historic theatre and more splendid scenery, motor along to the health and ski resort of Reichenau an der Rax in just over an hour. Plenty of hiking trails and natural springs are in the surroundings; whatever you plump for, make the cable car ride to the top of Rax mountain a must, to gaze down upon the countryside below.
