We often use this place as a resting spot on our bike tours. In sunny weather, it feels like sitting in a maritime beer garden.

Super stop for cyclists. View of bikes in the courtyard, great toast, delicious pastries and great coffee. Also a nice place!!

Trinity Column, a pillar as a symbol of gratitude. In 1679, during a time of suffering and trial by the devastating plague, the devout inhabitants of Mistelbach demonstrated their deep faith and gratitude to Almighty God. They vowed to erect a stone memorial column in the main square to express their thanks for the protection they had received, despite the many losses they had also suffered. This sacred promise was fulfilled on September 10, 1680, when the Venerable Superior of the Barnabite Monastery, Don Josef Festa, solemnly laid the foundation stone for the Trinity Column. Just two months later, on November 13, 1680, the column was consecrated in a festive ceremony. The centuries brought changes, and so, at the end of the 19th century, a careful restoration of this important memorial column became necessary. The costly restoration work, which amounted to 10,786 crowns, was made possible by the generous donations of the community. On Trinity Sunday, June 5, 1898, the restored column was once again resplendent and solemnly blessed. The community's loyalty to faith and tradition was also evident in the subsequent restorations of 1937 and 1967. Finally, under the direction of Mayor Dr. Alfred Pohl, a comprehensive renovation was carried out in 2018 and 2019. This valuable work included the complete reconstruction of the base, the balustrade, and the various artistic sculptures, including the musical angels and Saints Roch, Sebastian, Charles Borromeo, and Benno. Thus, the Trinity Column remains not only a symbol of faith but also a living testament to the community's connection to its history and its belief in God.

In Mistelbach, a special swing stands in a vineyard, inviting visitors not only to swing but also offering a unique view of the surrounding area. Part of the Mistelbach Loop hiking trail, the Vineyard Swing (also known as the Dionysus Trail) is a popular spot for hikers and families. From here, you have a magnificent view of the Buschberg hill and the surrounding vineyards. The "Buschberg View Loop from Eibesthal" leads through picturesque vineyards, where every step is accompanied by the delicious aroma of grapes. Whether under bright sunshine or in the golden autumn, the swing is an ideal place to pause and unwind. Here you can enjoy pure relaxation while admiring the beauty of nature. A visit is definitely worthwhile if you're looking for hiking and fresh air!

It's not true that this castle can only be visited on Saturdays. The Falkenstein Castle ruins are open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from April 1 to November 2.

The Reckturm (Stretcher Tower) marks the northwest corner of the fortifications. From 1830 onwards, the cemetery was located here, so this part of the city remained undeveloped, and the tower was preserved at its original height. The name Reckturm (Stretcher Tower) dates back to its use as a dungeon and place of "painful interrogation" in earlier times, when delinquents were imprisoned here and stretched, stretched, and tormented to force them to confess. In 1660, a female arsonist was executed by the Freimann (Freeman) in the Reckturm.
