Physical forces are truly something amazing... The wobbly stone in a sparse coniferous forest near Amaliendorf weighs 105 tons - and can still be set in motion! That's why the granite giant is a minor celebrity in the Waldviertel. [waldviertel.at]

To the west of the town square is the Catholic parish church dedicated to Saint Margaret. It is essentially a Romanesque hall church from the 12th century with a baroque nave and late Gothic choir. There is a baroque tower on the east side. The church was renovated in 1990 and received a new Rieger organ in 1993.

The heart of the nature park is the raised moor near the town of Heidenreichstein in the northwestern Waldviertel. The open moor areas and the forest on the edge of the Winkelauer Pond bear witness to a vegetation history that goes back more than 10,000 years. Areas of peat moss, sundew and cotton grass give an idea of the original moorland landscape.

In the nature park, the preservation of the “moor” habitat has the highest priority alongside climate protection. Moors are not characterized by a very large variety of plants and animals, but by relatively few but extremely specialists, such as the northern moss damsel (a type of dragonfly) and the moor frog.

The footbridge allows visitors to immerse themselves deeply in the vegetation of the raised moor. Hikers in Heidenreichstein have more than 10,000 years of vegetation history stored in the peat at their feet. Peatlands formed in wet hollows and depressions after the last ice age more than 10,000 years ago. They consist of plant residues that accumulate in the wet body of the moor in the absence of air. Therefore, bogs are, in a sense, nature's long-term memory.
