Pernegg

The Waldviertel market town of Pernegg in the Horn district invites you to enjoy beautiful day trips and family vacations. Whether it's a unique open-air experience or living the monastery spirit and healthy fasting - all generations feel at home in Pernegg.

Experience Pernegg: On the trail of the Gauls

The Gaul experience delights children and their parents with a great village surrounded by unspoilt nature - including an adventure playground, fishing and archery. Endless hiking and cycling trails run over hill and dale and through the forest. What's particularly great is that you can choose between rustic guest houses, exciting Indian tipis and a campsite for your family time-out.

Fasting & recharging your batteries - at the multifaceted Pernegg Monastery

The Premonstratensian monastery of Pernegg was originally founded in 1153. Today, the magnificent, listed complex - with building elements from the Middle Ages and the 17th century as well as enchanting gardens - offers unique spiritual experiences in the heart of the Waldviertel. At Pernegg Monastery, visitors can discover tranquillity and recharge their batteries.

It is also widely known as a particularly sustainable and popular fasting center. The most modern health and wellness offers - harmoniously integrated into the historic walls and premises - go hand in hand with a broad program of events throughout the year.
