Exciting Summer in Lower Austria with the Top Excursion Destinations

"To continually excite our day guests, we have developed creative themed events again this year. Our goal is to offer the right program for every age and taste. A summer program that invites you to linger, marvel, and share," says Eveline Gruber-Jansen, spokesperson for the TOP excursion destinations in Lower Austria.

With around six million visitors annually, the TOP excursion destinations are among the most popular excursion addresses in the country. The selection includes the following categories: "Railway and Shipping", "Castles and Palaces", "Pleasure, Garden, and Adventure Worlds", "Museums and Exhibitions", "Monasteries and Abbeys", "Thermal Baths & SPA", and "Animal, Nature, and National Parks". Many of these excursion destinations offer special programs for families with children, especially in the summer months.

Summer Holidays to Participate: Puzzles, Herbs, and Ritter Rost

The Kittenberger Adventure Gardens invite you to a musical adventure with the children's musical "Ritter Rost has a Birthday" (July 9 – August 10). At the "Summer Night's Dream in Rosé" on July 10, live music, acrobatics, and a rosé bar combine with garden art. An herb festival with blessing, demonstrations, and a church service follows on August 15.

In the SONNENWELT Großschönau, everything revolves around sustainability in the summer. From June 28 to August 31, the "Solarix Puzzle Rally" takes place, complemented by children's tours every Friday at 10:30 AM. Tip: From June 27 to 29, students with a report card have free entry – valid for Lower Austria, Vienna, and Burgenland.

At Dürnstein Abbey, families discover the history of the house in a playful way: An activity booklet, memory puzzle, and craft room with a replica of the famous blue church tower accompany the visit.

The TOP excursion destination SONNENTOR in Sprögnitz also invites you to summer family tours. Every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month, as well as every Thursday at 2 PM, children and adults can experience the world of herbs with all their senses.

Art, Culture, and Children's Cheese

At Lilienfeld Abbey, the summer is all about classical music. The concert series begins on June 29 with the Johann Strauss Gala, followed by the Kaiser Quartet on July 6 and Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" on August 10. In parallel, the summer academy brings international music students to Lower Austria.

In the KÄSEMACHERWELT in Heidenreichstein, it's "Kids Make Cheese": From July 3 to August 29, participatory tours for children aged five and up take place on Thursdays and Fridays at 11 a.m. The duration is about 60 minutes.

The Schallaburg delights with an open-air cinema under the arcades on July 26 and on August 1 and 2. The "ArtWorkDays" from August 8 to 10 present around 100 artists and craftsmen. For families, there is archery, a large playground, children's tours, and free admission with the SchallaCard for everyone under 18 years old.

The exhibition "God and Money" at Stift Klosterneuburg is dedicated to the tension between material and spiritual values. Additionally, the abbey combines nature and cultural experiences with guided walks through the monastic forests. Those seeking a cool down are well taken care of with a tour through the wine cellar at a constant 14 degrees – including light installations and wine tasting.

Adventures on Land, on Water, Uphill and Downhill

Visitors can experience history up close at Schloss Rosenburg, where raptor shows and castle tours take place in the summer. The exhibition "Magic & Superstition in the Middle Ages" opens new perspectives on old worldviews. The highlight is the grand falconry gala on August 15. The romantic setting also becomes the stage for the summer night comedy "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel."

On July 18 and August 1, the Eis-Greissler Erlebnispark can be experienced in a special light on two evenings: mild nights, rides in the dark, and sunsets included. Whether a round with the milkshaker, a nighttime marble run chase, or "cool shows" with a children's disco – a varied evening program ensures unforgettable experiences.

At Stift Heiligenkreuz, culture and animal lovers get their money's worth: In the adjacent wildlife enclosure by the Way of the Cross, the donkeys Alfredo and Carlo welcome guests, alongside dwarf goats, sika deer, and other animals.

A bike trip along the Danube Cycle Path is always a good idea. Passing by the Benediktinerstift Göttweig, on the eastern edge of the UNESCO World Heritage region Wachau, a stopover with a magnificent view and historical flair can be made. Those who prefer it airy can head to the Raxalpe in the Vienna Alps.

The adventure trail "Pioneers & Free Spirits" excites both young and old guests. The ascent is made with the Rax Cable Car – Austria's first passenger cable car.
