Discover Zöfing: Chapel, playground and landscape

If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Zöfing, local highlights can help you choose what to explore based on your interests. In the village itself, St. Bartholomew’s Chapel, the Zöfing playground and a beach volleyball court offer different points of interest: history, play and sport. Further afield in the municipality of Judenau-Baumgarten, you will find landscape features and the Auberg viewpoint. This makes it easy to distinguish specific destinations in Zöfing from regional sights elsewhere in the municipality. The following topics will help you decide which aspects matter most for your trip.

Zöfing’s chapel and history

Construction of St. Bartholomew’s Chapel in Zöfing began in 1910. The chapel houses a 1.30-metre-high statue of St. Bartholomew, created by Ferdinand Stufleser of St. Ulrich in Val Gardena. The date of construction and the statue offer two different ways to explore the chapel: the year places the start of construction in context, while the statue’s height, subject and creator describe a specific work. The name Zöfing is first documented in 1330. The history of the name dates back to before the chapel was built and provides a separate historical reference point. Together, the name, the start of construction and the statue add distinct, clearly dated or specifically identified details to the history of the village. The chapel is therefore a cultural point of interest for travellers interested in local history and religious art.

Playground and beach volleyball

The Zöfing playground has a slide tower with a baby swing, a swing, a climbing hexagon and a trampoline. Its facilities offer a range of activities, including sliding, swinging, climbing and jumping. Zöfing also has a beach volleyball court, offering a different kind of recreational activity. These provide different points to consider when planning your trip: a playground with several types of equipment and a dedicated sports facility. Check the current condition of the equipment and the court’s availability before your visit.

Landscape in the wider municipality

Further afield in the municipality of Judenau-Baumgarten, the landscape rises gently towards the foothills of the Vienna Woods. From the easily accessible Auberg, the view stretches across the Tullnerfeld, along the Danube and towards the Wagram north of the Danube. The gentle incline describes the landscape of the wider municipality; the view is from Auberg. This lets you appreciate the viewpoint as a regional feature and distinguish it from the specific destinations in Zöfing. Your trip planning can therefore take account of two different scales: the village’s facilities and history, and a landscape feature elsewhere in the municipality of Judenau-Baumgarten.

Mushroom cultivation and a festival in 2025

In Zöfing, Aurum Fungi opened an edible mushroom farm on 22 April 2025. The company’s first mushroom festival took place in September 2025 and included a mushroom tasting. These are two distinct points of interest: the start of production in Zöfing and a later company festival. The timeline places both in 2025 without treating them as the same event. For those interested in food production, the edible mushroom farm is a specific local feature, while the tasting was part of the historical festival event.
