Nix Cave near Frankenfels

Highlight • Cave

The Nixhöhle near Frankenfels is a 1,410-meter-long stalactite cave that impresses with snow-white mountain milk deposits ("Nix"). It is located about a kilometer outside of the town and is only accessible as part of a guided tour.

The cave is easily accessible by bike via the Pielachtal cycle path (Traisental cycle path connection). This leads through the region and allows for a scenic journey. Nearby is the Hausstein mountain farmer's museum, which offers insights into the lives of former mountain farmers and is a good addition to a bike trip.

Gaming Charterhouse

Highlight • Historical Site

Gaming Charterhouse is the former Carthusian monastery "Marienthron," founded in 1330 by Duke Albrecht I. It was once the largest Carthusian monastery in Central Europe. After its dissolution in the 18th century, the complex was used for a variety of purposes and later extensively restored. Today, it serves as a hotel, event venue, educational center, and cultural destination with restaurants and accommodations. Its impressive architecture and tranquil atmosphere make it a popular destination for visitors.

For cyclists, the Charterhouse is a worthwhile stop: it is situated amidst a charming mountain and valley landscape and is easily accessible via regional cycle paths. The inviting beer garden is perfect for a break during your tour.
