ザンクト・ペルテンの湖・トップ19

Even in winter it's a beautiful sight, and there are actually people who bathe in the ice...

The Viehofner Lakes in St. Pölten consist of the Großer Viehofner See and the Kleiner Viehofner See, and together form a popular local recreation area. The lakes are connected by a canal and offer a variety of opportunities for recreational activities such as swimming, boating, walking, and cycling. Well-developed cycling and hiking trails run along the shores, offering magnificent views of the water and the surrounding nature. While the Großer Viehofner See invites you to linger with its lawns, swimming areas, and restaurants, the Kleiner Viehofner See, with its reed beds and breeding grounds, is a nature reserve and provides a habitat for numerous bird species. The area thus combines recreation, sports, and nature experiences in the immediate vicinity of the city.

Free swimming, parking is subject to a fee, except in winter

A must visit, delicious and inexpensive!

The Ratzersdorfer See in St. Pölten was created in the 1970s as a local recreation area and offers numerous leisure activities. It is an artificially created bathing lake. The sports and leisure facilities include beach volleyball courts, a basketball and football pitch, and a mini golf course. There are restaurants to cater for your physical well-being, and you can take a short break here during your tour. The lake is easily accessible by bike via the Traisental cycle path. Admission is free.

Lake Ebersdorf is a popular local recreation area with excellent water quality. It offers swimming, a large lawn, shady areas, wooden walkways, and a circular trail. Sports activities such as beach volleyball, soccer, and a high ropes course with a "flying fox" over the lake provide variety. The Haus am See, with its grilled specialties, and the See Side cocktail bar invite you to linger. The lake is freely accessible and free to use.

We have been here four times so far, and three of those times the most beautiful spot was reserved (photo). Thank you! I was here once with 12 cyclists, and we also had a nice spot with a view of the pond. Recharging the e-bike batteries was also completely uncomplicated. Thank you to Christa, Florian and their team for the service and for taking photos despite the stress. We will definitely be back. Greetings from Hadersdorf am Kamp Bike guide Rudi Docekal

Great view over the lakes to St. Pölten and the mountains.
