The town’s centrepiece is the striking Renaissance-era Schloss Lichtenwörth, surrounded by manicured gardens and a serene moat – a perfect spot for a quiet afternoon stroll. Just a short walk away, the Linsberg Asia Thermal Spa offers a surprising slice of Eastern wellness, with hot springs, saunas, and pools set against a backdrop of lush greenery. Hikers and cyclists will love the network of trails weaving through vineyards and farmland, leading to panoramic views of the Schneeberg mountain. The local Heurigen (wine taverns) serve crisp Grüner Veltliner and hearty Brettljause platters, inviting you to linger over a glass. Despite its small size (just over 2,700 residents), Lichtenwörth pulses with authentic Austrian life – from the weekly farmer’s market to the cheerful summer festivals. It’s an ideal base for exploring the nearby historic town of Wiener Neustadt or the vast Piestingtal valley. Here, time slows down, and the biggest decision is whether to take another dip in the thermal pool or cycle deeper into the countryside.",[10,13,16,19],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","133",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","144",{"key":17,"value":18},"Fire","122",{"key":20,"value":21},"European Emergency","112",[23,26,29,32,35,38,41,44,47,50,53],{"key":24,"value":25},"Do I need a visa?","EU\u002FEEA\u002FSwiss citizens need only a valid ID.
