쉬운 하이덴라이히슈타인 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

언제나 가볼 만한 가치가 있습니다. 하지만 조용함을 찾는다면 주말에는 꽤 붐빌 수 있으니 평일에 방문하는 것이 좋습니다.

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.

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.

In the nature park, the preservation of the “moor” habitat has the highest priority alongside climate protection. Moors are not characterized by a very large variety of plants and animals, but by relatively few but extremely specialists, such as the northern moss damsel (a type of dragonfly) and the moor frog.

You can crawl into the shelter when the weather is wet and stormy. In front of it there are also tables and benches for sunny weather. From the viewpoint you can enjoy the beauty of the moor again.
