Discover Oberwart

Oberwart combines green recreational areas, active trails, markets and distinctive cultural sites to create a diverse destination in southern Burgenland. Those looking for accommodation for a stay with children or several generations will find a variety of opportunities here for active days, relaxing breaks and cultural discoveries. When choosing a holiday apartment in Oberwart, it is worth considering during the trip planning stage which of these experiences should be the main focus.

Stadtgarten and Lebenswart Adventure Trail

Stadtgarten is a place for relaxation and social interaction. Among trees, grasses and flowers, you can take a quiet break. Shaded benches and tables invite you to have a picnic. There are also various stations where you can train motor skills, stamina and coordination. This makes Stadtgarten a place for both a relaxing break and specific opportunities for physical activity.

The Lebenswart adventure trail offers another perspective on the surrounding area. It leads through the Wart, a region around the Pinka in southern Burgenland, and through Oberwart. Lebenswart is described as a cycling and hiking trail for the whole family. The living multilingualism of the Wart is also a central theme. If you enjoy combining exercise and regional features on a trip, you can make this trail a focus of its own without limiting your stay to a single activity.

Markets with Set Times

The Oberwart weekly market has existed since 1841. It takes place every Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the centre of Oberwart, at the Hauptplatz and in Stadtgarten. This gives your daily planning a specific morning appointment. In addition, the Oberwart farmers’ market offers specialities from regional direct marketers for sale on Saturdays, except public holidays, from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. The two markets have different focuses and provide a reason to explore Oberwart on different days of the week.

Culture and Distinctive Buildings

Cultural points of interest include the Offenes Haus Oberwart, which has existed since 1989. Arcade houses are also characteristic of the townscape. The church of the Oberwart Reformed Parish was built in 1771–73. Another defining church is the Catholic Parish Church of St Martin, which is the centre and landmark of St. Martin in the Wart. These places make the cultural side of the Wart tangible and complement outdoor activities with architecture, history and regional identity.

Family Experiences between Activity and Water

For families, StarJump in the former Exhibition Hall II offers modern trampoline facilities on more than 3,000 square metres, along with various jump, action and balance areas. StarJump Kids PlayGround is aimed at children aged 1 to 6 with age-appropriate play and movement activities. The Oberwart outdoor swimming pool has a water area of 800 square metres, a 7,000-square-metre lawn for sunbathing and relaxing, and a large slide.

These different options help you establish your preferred travel rhythm: A stay can focus on Stadtgarten and the adventure trail, include a visit to a market, or be complemented by cultural sites and family-oriented activities. Accommodation in Oberwart is particularly suitable for your plans if you want to choose the options mentioned as starting points for organising your own daily itinerary.
