나쁜 피라와스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪16‬개의 천연기념물

History: Between 1977 and 1979, the sculptor Walfried Huber from Bad Pirawarth created this monument, commissioned by the family of Dr. Gerhard and Elsa Pranka from Gaweinstal, which illustrates the idea of the solidarity of peoples. At the time of its erection, the neighboring states of Czechoslovakia and Hungary were still separated from Austria by the impermeable Iron Curtain. Even if humans set arbitrary borders, these can easily be overcome by the eyes and mind. Description: The Schricker Berg viewing point is the highest elevation in the area. From there, one can see as far as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. Three interlocking stone blocks made of gray Waldviertel marble, the middle one resembling a finger pointing to the solidarity of peoples, stand as a memorial stone at this vantage point. The monument is 4.20 m high and 1.90 m wide. A plaque placed next to the monument explains the motivations of Dr. Pranka's family for having this memorial erected here. Source: Marterl.at

Due to the shady location, it is an ideal place for a break even in the worst heat.

The small Marienkapelle with the image of the Trinity was first mentioned in the 18th century, but the cult surrounding the spring has always existed. During the renovation work in 1990, it was lovingly renovated, as was the Bründl gushing out of the mountain. The facility is particularly appealing, in the middle of the fields with a wide view in clear air. Benches and tables are ready, not only for eating and drinking - also for prayer. A staircase leads down to the water. It comes out of a wall fortified by quarry stone masonry and runs over a stone nose into a round basin. The water crystal clear and cold.

Heiliger Berg and Marienbründl are closely related. The church is located on a hill and is still used regularly as a pilgrimage church today. St. Lambert on the Holy Mountain was first mentioned in 1170 and has served both Catholics and Protestants as a place of worship over the years. The church bell dates from 1452. Up until the 16th century there was a legendary place around the church, of which nothing is left. The water comes from a wall fixed by quarry stone and runs over a stone nose into a round basin. The discharge is high, the water crystal clear and cold. A revelation for the taste buds, a treat for the senses.

Landscape garden with geological features Nexing Castle, built in the English Tudor style, is located in the middle of the rolling hills of the Weinviertel. Right behind it is a romantic landscape garden that was built in 1802. When the garden was created, there was an orangery and numerous flowers, shrubs and fruit. Since the interwar period, the complex has increasingly fallen into disrepair until the Urani family made the garden accessible to the public again. "You could still see the paths, but they were completely overgrown," remembers Peter Urani. Grotto-like rock parts and a bridge made of roughly hewn boulders are still preserved from the decorative structures. The real attraction is the Nexing Shell Hill: a huge, approx. 12.5 to 13.5 million year old collection of shells from the Sarmatian period. "Geologists from faraway countries don't know Austria, but they do know Nexing," says Mr. Urani about the uniqueness. “A fossil wonder from a scientific point of view and worth seeing for all visitors!” The dried-out pond landscape has also been revitalized and is now managed by Mr. Urani as a carp farm. Visitors can enjoy their specialties in the “Oase am Teich” inn. Pretty double rooms or camping options invite you to stay longer.
