Kartbahn Blindenmarkt

In Blindenmarkt, in Lower Austria, the Kartbahn Blindenmarkt offers an open-air karting track open to families and groups alike. You drive outdoors on single- and two-seater karts, with models suited to children and teenagers: the youngest can drive from the age of six, after taking a little in-house kart licence. The format stays that of an easy-going sporting outing, where you come to learn the ropes or take on the clock.

The track is not limited to open driving: it puts on original events, such as full-moon races and an international karting championship for deaf drivers, and offers packages for groups and companies. Open from Wednesday to Sunday, earlier at the weekend, it also runs by booking early in the week. It is a friendly address, built to drive in a small party or a large group.

Blindenmarkt lies in the Mostviertel, the hilly region south of the Danube, a short way from Melk and its famous baroque abbey perched above the river. The quiet, farming area serves as a stop on the road between Vienna and Linz. The Kartbahn Blindenmarkt adds a dose of open-air motorsport, welcome for an active outing away from the main routes. With its kart licence for the youngest, its two-seaters and its themed races, the Kartbahn Blindenmarkt cultivates a family-club mood where people come back season after season, halfway between Vienna and Linz, in a region where open-air tracks are far from common.
