| | Klaus an der Pyhrnbahn and its adjacent villages Steyrling and Kniewas form the gate to the Holiday Region Pyhrn-Priel, which literally opens up into a region of charming villages and breathtaking alpine scenery. Klaus a.d. Pyhrnbahn is situated away from mass tourism and popular especially with water sport lovers. Most water sports and activities are at your disposal in the 7 km long Reservoir of Klaus – swimming, boating, fishing, diving, kayaking or bungee jumping. The close by Elisabeth Swimming Lake is a further attraction in this area. On the cultural side it is primarily the Music Summer of Klaus with its atmospheric concerts and impressive programs which are worth mentioning. Historical interests are the Mountain Church and the Castle of Klaus. The crest of the founding family Storch has been taken over as municipal crest in the 70`s. As history further tells, Empress Sissy liked to hike in this area and still today the Brunnental especially is very popular with hikers and bikers alike. The village of Steyrling situatd in the idyllic Brunnental with gorgeous country homes belonging to the Family of Schaumburg-Lippe since 1878 situated in scenic surroundings organises a yearly festival, dedicated to traditional life style, the Steyrtaler Landpartie. |
