マッツェンドルフヘレスの湖・トップ20

Unfortunately, the recreation center and the bathing lake are only accessible to a very limited extent, and the cycle route is also subject to car traffic. Even the flower boxes that are supposed to prevent cars from driving onto the cycle path are so awkwardly placed that cyclists with luggage have trouble getting through.

Small pond, in the middle a small island that is accessible via 2 bridges. But only opened for small festivities

Archduke Leopold Ludwig inherited the property in 1854. Hernstein Castle owes its current appearance to him. He spent 28 years rebuilding and expanding the castle according to plans by Theophil Hansen, who is also the architect of the Parliament in Vienna. Since 2023, the Hotel Schloss Hernstein has been run as a public hotel and is a popular wedding location. More on the history: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Hernstein

Romantic pond - a place where you can unwind.

An atmospheric pond on the edge of the park.

Nice pond with an island in the middle. I didn't notice any signs prohibiting cycling.

Beautiful bathing pond, unfortunately not for the public

The Villateich with the island in Lichtenwörth was recently renovated. The new widened sidewalks invite you to take a walk and several park benches offer a good place to sit and relax. Until the middle of the 15th century there was a moated castle on this island, called the Veste Lichtenwerd. Unfortunately, the "villa" that once bordered this beautiful pond, from which it got its name, no longer exists either. The once magnificent building was demolished more than 65 years ago. There are still some old trees from every great era, such as the giant plane tree that stood in the immediate vicinity of the villa. They are silent witnesses who have certainly seen a lot over time and yet have to fear for their existence. A completely healthy, approximately 250-year-old tree to the left of the main entrance to the island was not allowed to stay - a pity about that.
