About the region

What guests can look forward to

The award as the “1st Edible Community in Austria” is based on strict criteria: organic farming, promotion of biodiversity and the complete absence of pesticides and artificial fertilizers. This sustainable approach makes Übelbach a role model in environmental protection and shows how valuable natural habitats are.

In addition to a healthy diet, Übelbach also offers numerous opportunities to exercise in the fresh air - in the midst of a beautiful natural landscape. The water theme trail along the Übelbach invites you to learn more about the vital element of water and explore its importance for people and nature. Those interested in history can immerse themselves in the past of silver mining on the Übelbach Silver Trail, while there are numerous tours for hikers, such as the Three Birch Hike or the short hike to the Calvary. Romantics may be drawn to the Bachweg, which creates a very special atmosphere with its “park of trees in love”. Speaking of romance: the picturesque St. Michael's wedding chapel offers an atmospheric setting for couples who want to say “I do”.
