Together with Lake Ratzersdorf, the Viehofen lakes form the St. Pölten lake experience. Despite their proximity to the state capital, you feel like you are in the middle of nature here - a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the big city, especially on hot summer days.

The lakeside restaurant "Seedose" takes care of your physical well-being. If you want, you can enjoy a unique service here and order a picnic either on the lakeshore or for a ride on the pedal boat.

Entry to the lakes is free. The picturesque view of Viehofen Castle is also included.

The Grosser Viehofnersee is wonderful for swimming in summer, but unfortunately it is also overcrowded.
