The Moor and Peat Museum, which has won national and international awards, is unique in Europe. Among other things, it was awarded a European museum prize in Helsinki in 1991. As a complement to the Heidenreichsteiner Moor nature park, the museum aims to illustrate the formation of moors in Central Europe. The flora and fauna in these areas are presented, as is the economic use and medical importance of peat. Other sections are dedicated to nature conservation, fairy tales and legends relating to moorland landscapes. There is also a replica of a bog body, along with a description of the accidents that can become fatal in the moor.

Heidenreichstein Castle is partially open to the public. It has been privately owned by the Kinsky family since 1961 and is still inhabited. Guided tours are offered, during which you can also look at some of the rooms inside the castle. The castle, like the whole town, owes its name to one of the first burgraves, who was called Heidenreich. The moated castle, the oldest part of which dates back to the second half of the 12th century, is considered a landmark of the town of 3,800 inhabitants.

An impressive rock by the wayside.

One third of the nature reserve consists of an open raised bog. Here you can discover carnivorous plants, hunting spiders, mystical rock formations and much more. Several hiking routes invite you to explore.

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.
