Here, where the Hammermühlbach flows in, the Pielach is dammed up, only to tumble like a waterfall over the concrete walls.
In this quiet place near the storage area, there is a rest area with a bench and a wide view.

There is a public bathing area by the larger pond, delimited by wooden fences, with shady and sunny sunbathing areas, a wooden terrace and two gravel water accesses for the bathing break in between.
Free access during opening hours, no dogs allowed!


Currently there is a newly designed campsite in a natural environment on most of the site. All of the 28 generously proportioned pitches are located on the banks of the pond, in the first or second row. Separate dog area.

From Thursday to Sunday, a Heuriger, the Seestadl, is open on site and offers the opportunity to stop off.

Good starting point for campers who can start their bike tours from here. An underpass takes you directly to the Pielachtal cycle path and you can go on interesting routes. In Ober-Grafendorf there is a connecting path to the Traisental cycle path. Bike maps available at reception or in the Hofstetten municipal office.

Mariazellerbahn

Highlight • Structure

One of the few remaining narrow-gauge railways in Austria. It runs between St. Pölten and Mariazell, making it ideal for excursions—from pilgrimages to Mariazell, to mountain hikes on the Ötcher, to cycling along the railway line.

The train runs fairly frequently, tickets can be purchased on the train, and there's plenty of space for bicycles. If you want to be safe, you can also reserve your bicycle space in advance—not through the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), but through the Mariazell Railway's own online shop.

Near the Mainburg hydroelectric power plant, the Mariazell Railway runs through the Pielach Valley, crossing the road at a level crossing in an open landscape. The line lies between Rabenstein an der Pielach and the request stop in Mainburg and is surrounded by fields, meadows, and the Pielach River. The level crossing is also accessible to cyclists, as the Pielach Valley Cycle Path runs in close proximity. This makes the characteristic combination of railway, river, and technical facilities like the hydroelectric power plant particularly enjoyable to experience from a bicycle.

Nice route through the small town, but you should drive very carefully. There are places to stop for refreshments, an information board, a lovingly designed town square with historic buildings and an idyllic square on the Pielach for cyclists.

If you have more time, you can hike up to the ruins, which are worth seeing, or pay a visit to the lido.

Mariazeller Narrow-Gauge Railway

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The ride on the Mariazell narrow-gauge railway is really great because the train travels relatively slowly and you can see a lot. The employee took my bike from me right on the platform and secured it in the space provided. Unique!
