Langenzersdorf
Situated at the foot of the Bisamberg, the market town of Langenzersdorf offers recreational space and a rich cultural offering in close proximity to the federal capital of Vienna.
Langenzersdorf marks the beginning of the southern Wine Road Weinviertel, which runs all the way to the Marchfeld. Thanks to the direct cycle path connection to Vienna and the Danube Island as well as the Marchfeld Canal cycle path, Langenzersdorf can be reached by bike from Vienna.
The Seeschlacht recreation area is very popular with recreation seekers in both summer and winter. Numerous sports can be practiced here. Several playgrounds are available for the youngest children and the natural swimming pond not only offers bathing fun, but also a relaxing environment for walkers.
The Bisamberg offers attractive hiking trails for every taste. Once at the top, a breathtaking view opens up over Vienna and the Danube. Afterwards, the cozy Langenzersdorf wine taverns and restaurants invite you to enjoy one or two delicacies and fine wines from the Langenzersdorf winegrowers.
The parish church of St. Katharina is a special architectural jewel: the three-nave early Gothic, baroque basilica with a late Baroque south tower features valuable works from the High Gothic, Baroque, Rococo and Classicist periods.
Numerous field monuments such as wayside shrines and crosses can be explored throughout the municipality.
