Tip: twice a year Schloss Weinberg plays host to large events: the Weinberg Advent in December and Easter at Weinberg in March.
There is always a reason to celebrate!
Religious events, church festivals, town fairs, highlights for the little ones - an eventful and exciting year is guaranteed! There is no doubt: people here are fond of merry-making and friendly company! Kefermarkt is also a great place to sample homemade foods such as artisan goat cheese and fresh farm butter. But we in Kefermarkt also know that there is more to life than celebrating and therefore we offer a choice of wellness treatments including “grain wading” and “beer bathing”.
Strap on snowshoes and discover a whole new world of white! Take a walk along the Palaces & Castles Trail, the Andreas Reischek Trail ,the Pendulum Trail or just cross-country and experience the region’s scenic beauty up close!
