Hotel Kongress

Cycling, relaxation, culture – that’s exactly my kind of holiday!

The Hotel Kongress (4-star) and its sister hotel Kindler 2.0 (3-star) are located in the very centre of the mining town of Leoben, on one of Austria’s most beautiful main squares. Leoben is a popular stopover along the Mur Cycle Path (R2), ideally situated between Judenburg and Graz. Both hotels are located directly on the Mur Cycle Path and invite guests to relax after a demanding stage. Comfortable, partly air-conditioned rooms ensure a restful night’s sleep, while the generous breakfast buffet ensures an energetic start to the next day of cycling.

Leoben is also perfectly suited for multi-day cycling stays. Explore the neighbouring town of Bruck an der Mur or cycle to the idyllic Grüner See. A visit to the Red Bull Ring is another popular day trip. Excellent suburban train connections open up additional tour options or offer a convenient return journey to Leoben. Leoben’s main railway station is just a five-minute bike ride from the hotel.

For mountain bikers, Leoben offers numerous signposted and legal trails across all difficulty levels. Starting directly from the hotel, you’ll find yourself immersed in Styrian nature within minutes and can enjoy well-earned views over the city from the surrounding hills after your ride. Downhill-oriented bikers will particularly enjoy the Massenburg Trail.

After an active day on the bike, the water and sauna world of Asia Spa Leoben offers relaxation for tired cycling legs. This wellness oasis is only a few minutes’ walk from the hotel.

Hotel tip:

On rest days from cycling, visit the Gösser Brewery Museum, learn more about the region’s steel-making history on a Hauly ride at the Erzberg Adventure Park, or experience native wildlife up close at the Wilden Berg Mautern wildlife park.
