Regal Residences
Due to the impossibly picturesque position of Reichenau an der Rax, it was immensely popular with Austrian nobility during the 19th century, encouraging many Emperors to construct regal holiday residences. One of the most notable is undoubtedly Hinterlieten Palace, an epic array of authoritative towers and elaborate patterns that was once used by prominent Austrian royalty.
Delightfully Dramatic
In the social and spiritual heart of Reichenau resides a cultural centre whose performances honour the time old traditions of the area. The Reichenau Theatre hosts performances rooted in creative drama, theatre and music and presents a rich cultural panorama for your enjoyment. Ensure you consult the theatre programmes in advance to avoid disappointment.
Alpine Delicacies
Unanimously hailed as the town’s most rustic and remarkable restaurant, Restaurant Schlosstube serves signature specialities in décor inspired by picturesque provincial perfection. Copious and classic, the fine food is sure to appease an appetite for Austrian authenticity; begin with the creamy pumpkin soup before going on to sample perfectly roasted fillet of venison.
