The 3 best pumpkin farms around Vienna
Autumn is here again! And what’s better than getting into the new season with a visit to a pumpkin farm?
There aren’t too many pumpkin farms near Vienna, but I’ve picked out my three personal favorites for you. In this post, you’ll find everything you need to know before your visit and what to expect there: from opening hours and entrance fees to things you can do and how to get there.
The opening hours and prices have already been updated for 2026 as well as the photos and exact offerings. Only the photos from Kürbishof Wunderlich are from the previous year. As soon as I visit this pumpkin farms, I´m going to update these ones too.
Kürbishof Franzlbauer
What to expect at Kürbishof Franzlbauer?
Every year, the barn at Franzlbauer is lovingly decorated with pumpkins. A huge pumpkin pyramid and a pumpkin sun always welcome you warmly. The “Franzl-Bar” completely adorned with small pumpkins, is a real eye-catcher and the perfect photo spot! The pumpkin alligator, which has become a tradition, must also be in my annual photo. This year they also added three hay minions. The Hascher family, who runs the farm, always comes up with something great!
In the courtyard, you’ll find stalls selling a wide variety of pumpkins. Especially handy: the cooking pumpkins come with instructions on how to prepare them, which is very useful if, like me, you’re not always sure what to do with them. In addition to pumpkins, there are also many other regional products like vegetables, apple juice, watermelons and homemade jams. Of course, various pumpkin products such as pumpkin seeds, pumpkin seed oil and pumpkin jam are also available.
In the large barn, there’s a pumpkin exhibition with about 400 different types of pumpkins! I was totally surprised that there are so many different kinds. Starting September 12, pumpkin treats are served from 12 p.m. (only on weekends), but I haven’t tried them yet as I’ve always visited during the week to enjoy the pumpkin farm in peace.
Even younger visitors are sure to have a great time here, as in addition to the pumpkin-themed attractions, they can also try out jumping in hay bales.
TIP: If you have time, visit Franzlbauer during the week. It can get quite crowded on weekends.

- Address: Haselbacherstraße 39, 3413 Hintersdorf
- The easiest way to get to Franzlbauer is by car: the pumpkin farm is only about 20 minutes from the Vienna city limits, and there is a large parking lot a few meters past the farm.

CAN I BRING MY DOG?
- Dogs are allowed at the pumpkin farm, but please keep them on a leash. There are also cats in the courtyard and they don’t seem to get along very well with unfamiliar dogs
Kürbishof Wunderlich
What to expect at Kürbishof Wunderlich?
Kürbishof Wunderlich is a true pumpkin paradise, especially for families with children and anyone who loves taking photos with autumn decorations. I discovered the farm just two years ago and was truly amazed by how large and lovingly decorated it is.
There are so many photo opportunities: such as a nostalgic US car, a pumpkin truck, a plane, a barn, a windmill, a pumpkin house and much more, all decorated with hay bales and pumpkins. There are even tripods for your phone, making it easier to take your autumn photos. The barn is also lovingly decorated, and you can find autumnal photo spots everywhere. But I think I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves here.
Young visitors are especially well-catered for: in the straw fort, the corn bath, in playhouses and with games like can tossing, with a real tractor, milking “cows” and plenty of space to run around, kids can really let loose. And I found the hay Minions to be really cute too.
In 2026, there is also a brand-new pumpkin field (open only on Wednesdays and from Friday to Sunday).
Of course, it wouldn’t be a pumpkin farm if you couldn’t also buy a lot of pumpkins. Just grab one of the carts and choose the right pumpkin for you, whether for autumn decorating, carving, or eating. They have over 100 types of pumpkin there. In the small shop right at the entrance, you’ll also find strawberries, apples, pumpkin seed oil, jams, and various sparkling wines like pumpkin or apple.
Tip: If you just want to buy a pumpkin, you don’t have to visit the farm. There is an area with a selection of pumpkins in front of the Strawberry House, where you can buy a pumpkin without a ticket. You can also visit the shop inside the Strawberry House without a ticket.
If you are hungry , you can grab a bite at the food trucks, with pumpkin soup, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cake, pumpkin spice lattes and more. This year the food trucks are open every day. This year, there is a Theme Wednesday, with something different on offer each week, such as pumpkin painting or an Oktoberfest-themed day.

Kürbisranch Asperhofen
What to expect at Kürbisranch Klingenbrunner/Asperhofen?
The Kürbisranch Asperhofen is smaller than the other pumpkin farms I’ve visited, but that’s exactly what gives it a special charm. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy, it’s the perfect place to just unwind. Even the entrance area is lovingly decorated, and although there aren’t any huge pumpkin figures, everything is beautifully arranged.
I love strolling through the rows of pumpkins and picking the most beautiful one for my autumn decorations at home. The pumpkin ranch offers a wide variety of pumpkins, for cooking, carving, or decorating. Especially handy: some pumpkin varieties come with recipe suggestions, some of which I’ve tried and I can say they were absolutely delicious!
In the small farm shop, you’ll find not only pumpkins but also other regional products such as pumpkin seed oil, jams, juices and fresh apples. Right next to it, there’s also a terrace where you can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere with a glass of “Sturm” (young wine), fresh grape juice or a slice of bread topped with lard.
They have also added a corn maze (€1 entrance fee) and a straw castle for children at the back of the farm.
