GROSS GERUNGS - Powerful and Healthy for your Heart
RECREATION - HOLIDAYS
Gain new forces - find peace - settle body & mind.
The holidays to which you are entitled by law are called nearly everywhere "recreational holidays".
So in order to meet everyday stress the whole year long, you shouldn't waste this time entirely on fun and adventure, but also contribute something to regeneration of your stressed out body.
The heart-circulation-centre and the "power arena"
have marked Groß Gerungs as the number one for physical and mental well-being and a so-called "recreational holiday".
Groß Gerungs is situated in the district of Zwettl in the Waldviertler upland and offers, apart from typical features of the Waldviertel such as the climate, little fog, peace, nature and hiking possibilities, something very special:
The "Kraftarena" (power arena) Groß Gerungs!
At 5 scientifically researched, mystic spots, you can feel the earth's power on you.
You shouldn´t miss a drive with the Waldviertler train over the "Waldviertler Semmering", either. One of the last narrow-gauge railway trains of Austria, which, during summer weekends, also runs with a steam engine and with buffet waggons.

XUNDWÄRTS - The running and exercise centre
again a highlight in the Waldviertel!
Apart from all the usual sport offers, jogging and walking in fresh air is an indispensable part of the Xundwärts jogging and exercise centre. This centre has been opened in summer 2004 since our area offers ideal conditions for joggers.
The promotion of a healthy lifestyle through active exercise is supported by a specially designed "motor activity park". The concept of this park is based on the improvement of coordinative skills, mobility, force, speediness and persistence. A unique combination for health and joy of life.
The network of tracks offers a great many paths for joggers and walkers, designed according to sport-scientific results and professionally marked.
The offer ranges from simple beginners tracks in rather flat surroundings to thematic paths, selected tracks for the sporty runner and even tracks that can be used in winter.
The jogging technique centre in the closely situated Harbach boasts additional sport-medical offers for joggers and walkers.
