In the north-west of the Waldviertel region, the moor country, you can find the city Heidenreichstein.
The water castle is one of the most impressive water castles in Central Europe. The nature park introduces you to the secrets of the moor in Heidenreichstein. It invites you to walk on a moor Kneipp path, which allows you to step on and feel the soft, swampy ground of the characteristic moor landscape.
In addition, we recommend you visit the Moor House, which is located in the culture park Heidenreichstein. It informs you about the moors of Europe and even shows you a bog body...
Both the nature and the culture park are members of the Lower Austria Card.
Apart from the Moor House, the culture park is home to the museum of local history, the museum of the painter Franz Zeh, the sculpture park and the exhibition "Haupt-Platz".
You can best take in the beauty of the natural landscape of the Waldviertel region by boarding a train on one of the narrow-gauge railways...
