The best family-friendly hikes and walks around Bad Fischau-Brunn

The so-called "Celtic Sacrificial Stone" is located in the Malleiten forest area near Bad Fischau-Brunn in the Wiener Neustadt district. The striking rock block features artificial-looking depressions ("bowls"), which is why it is popularly and esoterically attributed with significance as a Celtic cult and sacrificial site. Although ritual use is not unequivocally proven archaeologically, the Malleiten area is demonstrably one of the most important prehistoric and early historical settlement areas in the region.

The Waldandacht in the Wiener Neustadt district is a popular place of worship and a favorite excursion destination in the Föhrenwald near Bad Fischau-Brunn.

Today, the quietly located grotto serves as a spiritual resting place for hikers and as a venue for regular outdoor masses, such as the annual mountain mass.

The historic Fischau Thermal Baths in Bad Fischau-Brunn are characterized by their two green-bordered, protected stone pools, which are fed by natural thermal water with a temperature of around 19 °C.

Today, in addition to the nostalgic swimming experience in summer, the baths also offer year-round sauna and bathing fun in the heart of the thermal region.
