    Hiking

    At the end of the Hagenbach Gorge, Europe's largest bird of prey sanctuary is hidden very inconspicuously. A total of over 300 falcons, buzzards, hawks, eagles and owls are raised here.

    From the beginning of April to November you can admire the proud birds here on weekends and public holidays and get to know them better at shows.

    You can find more information at greifvogelzuchtstation.at.

    Hiking

    The Hagenbachklamm Bird of Prey Breeding Station is one of the largest private facilities in Europe. It is idyllically located at the end of the Hagenbachklamm Gorge in the Eichenhain Nature Park and is home to over 30 species of birds of prey. It is open on weekends and public holidays, and guided tours are available by appointment—ideally combined with a hike or picnic in the surrounding area.

    Hiking

    In 1976, the station was built by Mr. Gerhard Kropf and some friends, in their free time and with countless hours of work, completely free of charge. But the station was not built in a day; it all started with a construction hut on a field.

    The reason for this was that the birds of prey were no longer to be taken from the wild for falconry, but to be bred. The private station was immediately open to the public in 1977.
