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.

At the Nussdorf-Traisental Prehistoric Museum, you can discover impressive archaeological finds from April to October, dating back 30,000 years to the time of the mammoth hunters. The Bronze Age finds are particularly fascinating, including 2,300 graves with valuable grave goods and a 4,000-year-old grape core, which demonstrates that the people of the Traisental Valley already knew and appreciated grapes back then.

The Mariazell Basilica, officially the "Basilica of the Nativity of Mary," is considered Austria's most important pilgrimage site and is located 868 meters above sea level in the Styrian town of Mariazell. Its history begins in 1157, when, according to legend, the Benedictine monk Magnus erected a small linden wood statue of the Virgin Mary at this site – the miraculous image now venerated as the "Magna Mater Austriae." Over the centuries, these humble beginnings developed into a central Marian pilgrimage site for pilgrims from many parts of Central Europe, including Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Croatia. The current building was built primarily between 1644 and 1683 in the Baroque style, incorporating Gothic elements from the predecessor, such as the high choir and the approximately 90-meter-high tower. Inside, visitors will find magnificent Baroque altars, fine stucco, and the central Chapel of Grace, with its Romanesque statue of the Virgin Mary, sumptuously decorated with silver and gold. In 1907, Pope Pius XI granted the church the title of "Basilica Minor," and in 1983, Pope John Paul II visited the famous pilgrimage site. Today, the basilica is not only a spiritual center but also a significant cultural monument, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.

The St. Andrä Footbridge over the Traisen River was rebuilt in 2022 after the old wooden bridge had to be demolished due to flood damage and safety deficiencies. The new bridge is an elegant, approximately three-meter-wide single-span bridge without intermediate piers in the riverbed and now directly connects the districts of St. Andrä and Herzogenburg. The bridge is equally suitable for pedestrians and cyclists and forms an important section of the local cycle path network. The footbridge is particularly important for cyclists, as it offers direct access to the Traisen Valley Cycle Route and, subsequently, to the Danube Cycle Path. The crossing also provides a scenic connection to the Traisen-Danube Circular Tour, an approximately 18-kilometer route that leads through quiet towns such as Hameten and Sitzenberg to the Altenwörth power plant. The route is mostly flat, paved, and family-friendly. A rest area has been created at the northern end of the bridge, featuring a drinking fountain, seating, a bicycle service station, and a small pergola for relaxing. From here, there is an unobstructed view upstream into the natural floodplain landscape of the Traisen River, with its mature trees, meadows, and tranquil watercourse. The new bridge thus not only connects two banks but also creates an attractive place for local recreation, exercise, and enjoying nature—whether on foot or by bike.
