A lovingly maintained castle ruin in the middle of the Waldviertel Kamp landscape

According to legend, the lord of the castle asked the devil for his help to build the Bohemian Wall within seven days. When the devil wanted to drag the client to hell after the construction had been completed on time as agreed, the client refused and clung to the gate so tightly that his fingers left marks in the stone. Until a few years ago, there were actually five depressions that, given their size and position relative to each other, could have been made by fingers. However, these "fingerprints" were destroyed by vehicles that hit the gate and damaged it. Source: Wikipedia

Great place in the forest

The Bohemian Wall is a fortification north of the Kollmitz castle ruins. In order to compensate for this location disadvantage after the introduction of heavy firearms, a wall was built around 1450 at a distance of 300 to 400 meters, which cut off the meander of the Thaya on which the castle was built. The Bohemian Wall is over 100 meters long and about 5 meters high. On the side facing the castle there was a battlement, the defenders found protection behind rectangular battlements.

This old city gate is a beautiful sight, especially for the bikers that had to get there from the Thaya bridge. It's a rather steep way up. 😅

Old city gates are always a nice sight. Especially if you have to pedal uphills to reach them, like here. 😅

Raabs is one of the "city wall" towns. The fortifications are extraordinarily well preserved in this proud little town on the hill above the Thaya.

Beautiful old ruin to visit, in summer also a snack station on site
