Like other towns in northern Lower Austria, Gmünd also boasts impressive examples of sgraffito art from the Reformation period. Two gabled houses north of the town hall, originally late Gothic, are particularly noteworthy. One of the houses features depictions from ancient legends on a Renaissance-era facade (around 1570/80). The myths that Ovid treats in his Metamorphoses ("Transformations") served as the model for the depiction. The facade of the neighboring house (around 1565) is somewhat simpler in its decoration, featuring small-scale diamond-shaped decoration, a herringbone pattern, and a frieze of figures. The latter decoration is unique in Austria.

Blockheide Lights Festival

A magical festival in the Blockheide Nature Park. Once a year, the Blockheide forest glows in mystical colors. Artists from all over the world enchant visitors. A visit is worthwhile for the whole family. https://www.blockheide-leuchtet.at/

At Gmünd's old town hall, you'll find the legendary "Schirm-Bar & Café" and the Sonnenplatz'l restaurant! Across the street is the Hopferl restaurant, serving authentic Waldviertel home-style cooking. :-)

Approximately 15 minutes walk to the summit

There's also a spacious, free parking lot here. From here, it's a leisurely, family-friendly walk to the summit of the Mandelstein. However, children should be watched closely around the summit, as the area is not entirely secured.

Great for hiking, not so hot in summer
