Liezen

Liezen has everything a district capital needs. From shopping options for every taste, to being right next door to Austria’s most spectacular hiking destinations – it's all here. They even have their own radio station: Radio Freequenns. The name says it all – a love of freedom and a nod to its location. Because Liezen lies in the heart of the beautiful Ennstal valley, the perfect starting point for stunning day trips. Whether you’re heading to Admont, exploring the Gesäuse National Park, or off to Schladming or Bad Aussee – Liezen is the place to be.

What guests can look forward to

Let’s go to Liezen

Liezen has everything a capital needs: shops, cultural events, a wide range of sports activities – and above all, endless options for exploring diverse and stunning nature.
Yep, in this town, you can get what you need: a cappuccino with a heart in the foam, the perfect summer dress, that one missing screw – and unforgettable hikes to alpine pastures, moors, or waterfalls.
Nestled in the valley floor of the Ennstal, Liezen is just a stone’s throw from top-class hiking destinations like the Kalkalpen or the Gesäuse National Park – where eagles and dragonflies groove to the sounds of the local brass band.

Live it, laugh it, and do way more of it

Speaking of dancing: while rare animal and plant species shake a leg in the surrounding nature, it’s music lovers and foodies who bring life to the city itself.
In July, big names like the Stonez and die Niachtn hit the stage at the open-air “Liezener Sommerbühne”.
And on the main square, it’s the local farmers who take the spotlight – every Thursday from 7 to 11 a.m. at the weekly market.
Not keen on waiting till Thursday? Then dive into the shelves of the city library or go for a shopping spree at “Eli” – the region’s biggest shopping center.
This is where folks from Schladming, Bad Aussee, Admont and Liezen itself come together.
With restaurants, boutiques, cafés and grocery stores all under one roof, Liezen truly lives up to its name as the district capital.
