Anger: Accommodation for Culture, Trails and Regional Delicacies

Anger combines historic sites, selected trails and regional culinary offerings. If you are looking for accommodation in Anger, you can tailor your stay according to your interests, with a focus on cultural history, walking or family-oriented leisure planning. Anger is one of the municipalities along the Styrian Apple Road; regional products therefore provide an additional aspect of planning your trip.

Historic Sites and Museums in Anger

A particular focus is on architectural and everyday history. The Rauchstubenhaus, referred to as a Hube in Erleschachen, was first mentioned in records in 1440. At the same time, it is a house more than 300 years old that provides insight into the way of life and culture of former mountain farmers and craftsmen. More than 300 exhibits illustrate life in earlier times there. Anyone interested in rural architectural styles, the world of work and regional culture will find an independent point of interest here.

The parish church of St. Andrew in Anger also offers several historical layers. The oldest part was built around 1161 as a Romanesque choir-tower church and decorated with frescoes in the 14th century. The present building was constructed between 1708 and 1711 by master builder Lorenz Stattaler from St. Ruprecht an der Raab. The Church of the Fourteen Holy Helpers in Anger is also the most important pilgrimage church in the Upper Feistritz Valley. In another church, the Ulrichskirche on the Külml, a renovation around 1715 in particular shapes the present building.

The Steinpaißhaus, the oldest historic building, dating from the 13th century, houses the “Mystical Underworlds and Upper Worlds” museum. Archaeological sites and underground structures in the area around Anger can be visited by prior arrangement; the visit should therefore be planned in advance.

Trails for an Active Day Plan

Anger can also be explored through several different trail experiences. Heilbrunn is the starting point of the meditative HeilBrunn Trail and is also a popular pilgrimage site with a healing spring. The Waldromantik circular trail begins at Anger outdoor swimming pool, Anger’s central starting point for hikes, and continues to the Brand district. From there, there is a view of Anger. This provides various options for planning: a meditative trail, a circular trail with views and a historically oriented themed trail.

The themed trail to the Rauchstubenhaus leads from Anger to the Rauchstubenhaus local history museum and the Almer inn in Edelschachen. Anyone wishing to combine exercise and culture can plan this trail as a thematic link between the museum and regional dining. No specific walking time or distance is associated with it; for planning your day, you should take the actual route and your own preferences into account.

Leisure with Children and Regional Specialties

Anger outdoor swimming pool has a sports pool, a children’s pool, a baby pool and a beach volleyball court. There is also a children’s playground in the park in front of the outdoor pool, accessible even outside the pool’s opening hours. This combination may be relevant for travelers with children when choosing how to spend their day, without swimming-pool and playground visits being tied to the same opening hours.

Anger is one of the municipalities along the Styrian Apple Road. At Biohof Schloffer, tastings of organic products such as juice, Frizzante and schnapps are offered. This allows you to complement your stay with a regional culinary experience. When looking for suitable accommodation, you can therefore first decide whether historic sights, trails, the outdoor pool or regional products should shape your stay.

Other Places for Orientation
