>> Nexinger Switzerland

"The romanticizing landscape garden was built in 1802 by Ritter von Heintel, an agricultural specialist. In his time he ran a model estate with a tree nursery for vines and fine fruit as well as a silkworm, sheep and carp breeding.

At that time there was an orangery and numerous flowers, bushes and fruit in the park of Nexing Castle - four gardeners looked after the property. Since the inter-war period, the complex fell into disrepair until the Urani family reopened the garden to the public.

Of the staffage buildings from the first half of the 20th century, only a narrow, high corridor made of shell limestone, grotto-like parts and a bridge made of roughly hewn boulders remained. The wooded area partially serves as a game reserve, and so deer and roe deer can be admired.

A quiet and relaxing place, a different kind of show garden awaits its guests. "

>> Nexinger Muschelberg

"The Nexinger Muschelberg is the real attraction of the landscape park - a huge, approx. 12.5 to 13.5 million year old collection of shells from the Sarmatian.

It forms the backdrop for the bizarre landscape garden. "Geologists from distant countries do not know Austria, but Nexing does," reports Mr Urani about the uniqueness of the Muschelberg.

It is a Locus typicus, a location that is geologically unrivaled ... and cannot find it! A fossil miracle from a scientific point of view and also worth seeing for all visitors! "

The Nexinger mussel mountain is a rock with many enclosed mussels. There is a nice little climb up the mountain. Towards the end you have to go through a narrow crevice. Now you come to a beautiful meadow with a view of the fishing lakes. Several large trees offer shady spots where you can have a picnic. Small trails lead through the sparse bushes and offer a beautiful nature trail for children. In the near distance you can see the mining tower of the mussels. They break these down so the chickens eat them and use them to produce their eggshells. After visiting the Shell Mountain, I recommend a walk among the lakes.
