A well-maintained chapel, here in picturesque Spitzicken. Right next to it in the park, you will also find some resting places, as well as the war memorial and a Jesus cross.

The classicist hall church is a listed building and was built between 1783 and 1787. The east tower with the high onion dome was added in 1846. In front of the church, you will find some seating areas and a fountain in the small park. The war memorial also stands next to the church.

The railway cycle path from Bad Tatzmannsdorf to Oberwart is traffic-free and gently downhill throughout, and from Großpetersdorf to Rechnitz the cycle path is also traffic-free and easily suitable for families! In Hannersdorf there is a lovely rest area with a wooden train.

A pleasant route, good infrastructure. Swimming lake in Rechnitz. Also of interest is the Kreuzstadl memorial in Rechnitz. In Bad Tatzmannsdorf, be sure to stop by the Spiegel chocolate factory and/or the Kaplan pastry shop. On Wednesday mornings, the weekly market in Oberwart has a very special atmosphere.
