Thaya Spring

Every spring or river origin is a special place. I've been to a few, and none can be compared to another. But this source has something very special. A river that rises in the middle of the forest under a single tree that towers over it like an ancient guardian of this source....simply magical....

The Deutsche Thaya rises in the Waldviertel near Schweiggers at an altitude of 657.5 m. At the Schwedenkreuz on the road to Jagenbach, next to the Mödershöf estate, a narrow field path branches off, which leads to the lonely Thaya spring. After 75.8 km in Raabs an der Thaya it joins the second source river of the Thaya, the Moravian Thaya. On its way there it flows through Vitis, Schwarzenau, Waidhofen an der Thaya, Thaya, Dobersberg, and Karlstein an der Thaya
