Exhibition "Cultural Heritage Reichenau"
Info
TOURDATA
Schlossplatz 9, 2651 Reichenau an der Rax
"Cultural Heritage Reichenau - from Imperial Summer Retreat to Festival Venue" is deliberately the focus of the summer program at Schloss Reichenau.
The history of the former municipality of Reichenau is highly interesting and multifaceted. In many respects, there were pioneering achievements here, such as the world's first organized mountain rescue station or the Rax cable car. This year marks several significant anniversaries that our comprehensive exhibition refers to: 690 years ago, the then lordship of Reichenau came under the control of Duke Otto the Merry, who had acquired it for the monastery of Neuberg an der Mürz, which had been founded just a few years earlier. In 1873, the First Vienna High Spring Water Pipeline was inaugurated, and information about it is also included in the exhibition. In this eventful year of the Vienna World's Fair, pure spring water helped to end a cholera epidemic.
In 1998, the Semmering Railway, along with its surrounding landscape, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, and more than 20 years ago, the castle and theater were the venue for the Lower Austria State Exhibition. The list could be extended much further, but it is best if you come by and gain your own impression. Enjoy exploring and rediscovering!

Planning takes too much time
Ich finde nichts passendes
Ich kann mich nicht entscheiden
Ich plane zu spontan
Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob es sich lohnt
Abstimmung mit anderen ist zu mühsam
Ich vergesse gute Ideen wieder
Ich habe niemanden, der mitkommen möchte
Too expensive
Ich finde eigentlich immer etwas
Something else
