Pinkafeld between history and nature

Pinkafeld offers several different ways to shape your stay: architectural and town history, archaeological topics, local legends and family-friendly leisure activities. You can choose whether you would prefer to explore buildings and historical artefacts, include an audio experience, or consider leisure areas with water and play facilities.

Town history through buildings, a museum and stories

The town’s buildings offer several historical points of interest: the Calvary Church is a protected monument, the Marian Column was erected around 1700 as a votive monument, and the present building of the Roman Catholic parish church dates back to 1772. These examples illustrate different aspects: protected-monument status, architectural form and the construction date of the present church building. Chronologically, the Marian Column, built around 1700, predates the parish church building of 1772; the second date specifically refers to the present building of the parish church.

The Pinkafeld Town Museum presents the iron-smelting facility at Lamplfeld, which dates to the La Tène period. The document containing the first recorded mention of Pinkafeld by name, dated 20 November 860 AD, can also be viewed there. This brings together an archaeological topic with a specified period and a written reference with an exact date. The distinction offers two different ways to explore the town’s history.

The Pinkafeld Ghost Trail turns local legends into an audio experience. The Roman burial mounds in Pinkafeld’s town park form a tumulus group. While the Ghost Trail focuses on stories, the tumulus group points to archaeological topics. Together with the Town Museum, they offer a choice between local legends, archaeological topics and written records—depending on which aspect of the town’s history interests you most.

The annual Pinkafeld Town Festival attracts more than 3,500 visitors. If you would like to combine your stay with the festival, check the event dates before planning your trip.

Family activities involving water and leisure

The Pinkafeld All-Weather Pool has a parent-and-child area with a baby pool, waterfall and baby slide. These specific facilities for parents and children are worth considering when planning your visit. The focus here is on the parent-and-child area and its water features.

The local recreation area around the retention basin in northern Pinkafeld includes a children’s playground and a barbecue area. Unlike the parent-and-child area at the All-Weather Pool, the focus here is on the playground and barbecue area. The leisure options therefore differ in the specific facilities they offer.

The Pinka also offers a connection with nature: quiet-water zones make it accessible and enjoyable in Pinkafeld, and provide a special experience for children. Your options therefore include a parent-and-child area, play and barbecue facilities, and natural quiet-water zones.
