Stegersbach: Thermal Spa, Golf and Themed Trails

Stegersbach offers several distinct travel experiences: at the thermal spa, pools and slides take centre stage, alongside golf, themed trails and historic buildings. You can tailor your stay to different interests—for example, time in the water, a round of golf or a trail with a meditative, historical or wine-related focus. When choosing a holiday apartment in Stegersbach, it helps to first consider which of these interests you want to shape your trip.

The thermal spa and golf as distinct highlights

The Stegersbach Thermal Spa has 14 pools and four slides. The water park includes a 100-metre stainless-steel slide with timing. The water comes from two warm mineral springs that bubble up from depths of up to 3,200 metres. The pools, slides and source of the water each give a visit to the thermal spa its own character, without requiring you to limit your trip to just one kind of experience.

Golf is another major highlight in Stegersbach: the Golfschaukel Stegersbach-Lafnitztal covers 190 hectares and has 45 holes. The Simon Tarr Golf Academy offers professional coaching, modern technical training, and individually tailored courses for golf proficiency certification, beginners and intensive training. These courses can be booked without club membership; check the current offerings before booking. As well as playing on the course, you can choose from a range of learning and introductory options.

Themed trails for different interests

The Chakrenweg is a meditative hike of around 4.5 kilometres, based on seven scientifically measured energy points. The Golf/History Trail offers a different combination of exercise and information: it is just under 8 kilometres long and has more than 20 stations with information about local history and interesting facts about golf. These approximate or upper-bound distance figures provide guidance for planning; the trails also differ in their themes.

The short circular “Walk of Wine” trail runs around the Stegersbach Thermal Spa. Information boards and grapevines introduce visitors to the wine region of Southern Burgenland and its winemakers. Here, the focus is on regional wine culture. Another trail has a different theme: the Lichtweg, built in 2014, runs between the two churches in Stegersbach. This gives you a choice of trails with a meditative, historical or wine-related focus when planning your day.

Buildings and history in Stegersbach

Stegersbach was first mentioned in a document in 1289, when the town was named “Stegraifepach.” The history of its buildings also includes the Kreuzkapelle (Cross Chapel): it is 16 metres high and shaped like a triangular tent. It was first consecrated on 7 July 1979. Following renovation, it was consecrated again on 17 May 2015. These two dates mark different stages in the chapel’s history.

Kastell Stegersbach is a Renaissance castle commissioned by Count Adam Batthyány in 1636. Today, it serves as a guesthouse and event venue for weddings and celebrations. The castle also has an à la carte restaurant, a vaulted cellar and a 600 m² banquet area. Check current opening and operating details before visiting. Stegersbach also once held a pilgrimage in honour of Saint Patricius, which drew many visitors from the surrounding area.

Getting there and choosing accommodation
