In the heart of the beautiful Weinviertel region, everything is blooming and thriving, not only in the vineyards but also at our cycling stop! Right next to Euro Velo No. 9, Isolde and Franz have created an inviting rest stop that's perfect for all cyclists and day-trippers. Here, you can leave your bike behind and let yourself be pampered. In the warm summer months, we invite you to take a seat in our idyllic garden. While Chef Franz lovingly and skillfully prepares the finest grilled specialties for you, you can enjoy the fresh air and take in the view of the vineyards. Our doors are open Friday through Sunday and on public holidays from 10 a.m. until dusk. We always have three delicious dishes to choose from – whether hearty or vegetarian, there's something for everyone! And if it gets late, the vending machine ensures that no one leaves without a thirst quencher. Come by and let us surprise you.

A special architectural feature is the 12-sided pyramidal roof. In the tower hangs a bell weighing approximately 35 kg, cast at the Grassmayr bell foundry in Innsbruck and bearing an image of St. Francis.

The chapel is named after Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, nature, and the environment – fittingly for its location in the nature park. The chapel is located directly on the Weinviertel Way of St. James and serves as a spiritual place of tranquility for pilgrims, hikers, and nature lovers. Today, the chapel is a popular tourist destination and hosts events such as the annual animal blessing ceremony around World Animal Day.

The chapel was planned and built by the Buschberg local group of the Lower Austrian Mountain and Nature Watch, together with numerous volunteers. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in February 2022, and it was officially inaugurated in the summer of the same year.

The St. Francis of Assisi Chapel on the Buschberg in the Weinviertel region of Lower Austria was built in 2022. It is located in the Leiser Berge Nature Park near the radar station on the Buschberg, which, at 491 m, is the highest elevation in the region.

Completely open chapel

There's a small museum in the tower with information boards and brochures. You have to pay €2.50 (2025 price) to climb the tower, but the view is magnificent.
