One cultural highlight is a festival known as "The Wedding", staged every five years, a tribute to the great Öblarn poet Paula Grogger.
The broad Ennstal valley, oxygen-rich forests, and iconic mountains
The broad Ennstal valley, lush meadows, the oxygen-rich forests covering the slopes of the Hocheck, Hirscheck, Gumpeneck and the imposing Grimming, shape the character of this captivating landscape.
Footpaths and Hiking Trails
Whenever you are in the mood for a relaxing stroll, we suggest exploring the footpaths and hiking trails of Ennstal, leading through the farming areas in and around Öblarn, and across our local mountains. The Grimming, meanwhile, is very much a domain reserved for more experienced alpinists.
