May 10, 2026, Augustiner Chorherrenstift Vorau

The monastery dates back to a foundation by Margrave Ottokar III of Traungau and his wife Kunigunde in 1163, out of gratitude for the birth of the long-awaited heir. Margrave Ottokar subsequently handed over his Styrian possessions between Wechsel and Masenberg to the Archbishop of Salzburg Eberhard I., who sent Augustinian canons from St. Rupert's Cathedral to settle. In 1237, the complex was destroyed by fire and rebuilt shortly thereafter.

July 24, 2025, Hornschmied Mill

At the turn of the century, there were approximately 20 watermills in Miesenbach. The Hornschmiedmühle, built in 1905, originally had two millstones. Its water was drawn from the Rotthalerbacher stream, which flows into the Miesenbach. In 1951, the mill was converted to generate electricity and supplied the house and farm for several years. In 1994, it was renovated and is once again fully functional. Here, you can take a wonderful rest along the Miesenbach waterway.
