Großharras
Großharras is a picture-perfect community for a short break or family excursion into the countryside: picturesque houses and an idyllic wine cellar lane stretch out around the central church, while the gentle Weinviertel hills rise up in the background. The market town in the district of Mistelbach combines a total of three villages: Diepolz, Großharras and Zwingendorf.
Incidentally, none other than Johanna-Mikl-Leitner, Governor of Lower Austria, is an honorary citizen of Großharras - she grew up here and also attended the local elementary school.
Großharras: from history to pleasure
A Lombard grave from the first half of the 6th century bears witness to the early settlement of the area - long before it was first mentioned in a document in 1156. Over the centuries, Großharras has experienced several battles, epidemics and fires.
Today, the municipality is a popular starting point for hikes and bike tours. Excursion destinations for young and old alike. Traditional establishments such as the award-winning Landgasthaus Holzer - now in its third generation as a family business - cater for your physical well-being.
