REICHENAU AN DER RAX

by iris2002 - last update: Apr 25, 2006

Welcome to the Spa of Emperors ... *

Yodel greeting

REICHENAU nestles in the Eastern part of the Alps only one hour drive from Vienna.

It is a most romantic, idyllic and nature-lovers paradise. I should know, I used to live there and was born only a stonethrow from that area :)....

The area even has it's own special brew... a beer named after a famous patron of the area: Raxkoenig .... Raxkoenig-Beer

Prost!!
Austria Winter wonderland

Heaven in spring, summer, fall & winter :)

Reichenau is truly a 4 season destination for single travellers as well as families and extreme tourists. The area caters for everybodies taste and has generally great climatic conditions and it's own "micro-climate" that is said to have healing qualities especially for those with heart and lung problems.... it has been a Spa for centuries and even the Austrian-Habsburg Emperors came often as they also had hunting chalets in these forests.

Where the Emperor and Princess used to stay ...

The Caslte Hotel - MARIEN HOF
The owner - Wilhelm Hubner is a friend of mine and whenever I visit I get the "Emperors suit" under the roof with the most stunnign view of the whole alpine panorama. The Hotel has also an excellent wine-cellar.

The Hotel is very busy all year round as 4 fantastic ski-& hiking resorts are just half an hour away and it is also popular because of the annual "Theatre Sommer" - where the celebrities flock to Reichenau for a bit of art ;)

 Fabulous little page about your hometown. As you know I only once changed trains in lovely Payerbach-Reichenau when I was travelling on the Semmering railway. I quite like the Salamander train. :-)
