A classic labyrinth has only one winding path that leads to the center. In a maze, on the other hand, the path must be found through many branches. The lawn labyrinth in Schweiggers was created based on a design and model by sculptor Professor Willi Engelmayer and was built by the Schweiggers Beautification Association in 2001. You walk on the lawn, the mythological Ariadne's thread, while the stone lines symbolize the dividing walls of the labyrinth building. The path leads over 250 meters to the labyrinth stone in the center. The labyrinth stone This granite stone, artistically designed by our sculptor Prof. Willi Engelmayer, symbolizes our five senses. Two humming holes are recessed into the boulder. In earlier times, people hummed from stones to the rising and setting of the sun. Here you can immerse your head in a closed world. The echo reflects and amplifies every sound we make. The constant vibrations of the humming are picked up, hit our head again intensely and continue throughout the body right down to the tips of our toes. Such humming stones were used in various ancient cultures to maintain health and also in a meditative context.

Die Thaya-Quelle befindet sich unter einer Birke, die aus einem uralten Föhrenstrunk (heute nicht mehr vorhanden) emporgewachsen ist.In einer Seehöhe von 657,5 Meter entspringt die Hauptquelle 15°2` östlicher Länge von Greenwich und 48°4` nördlicher Breite. 1973 wurde dieser Ursprung der Thaya durch einen Quellstein gekennzeichnet. Die "Deutsche Thaya" (75,8 km) gilt offiziell als Hauptfluss, weil sie im Vergleich zur "Mährischen Thaya" (68,1 km), die nur als Zubringerfluss gewertet wird, länger und mehr wasserführend ist. Der Fluss wird urkundlich zum ersten Mal im Jahre 985 als "Taja" genannt. Der Name leitet sich vom illyrischen Wort "Dujas" (= rauschender Fluss) ab. In der Regierungszeit der Babenberger wurde die Thaya vor rund 900 Jahre zum Grenzfluss gegen die böhmischen Länder. Der Thaya fließen 573 Quellbäche zu. Bei Raabs vereinigt sie sich mit der Mährischen Thaya. Bei Drossendorf verlässt sie Österreich und mündet als Grenzfluss nach einer Lauflänge von 235,4 km bei Hohenau in die March, deren Wasser nach der Vereinigung mit der Donau ins Schwarze Meer fließt.

Beautiful old wayside cross

The meridian stone stands exactly on the 15th meridian east of Greenwich and was designed by local artist Prof. Wilhelm Engelmayer in 1992 as the keystone for the extensive road construction program of the market town of Schweiggers. Seven vertically arranged holes in the stone form a gap through which we can observe the exact course of the 15th meridian east of Greenwich over a distance of more than 20 km as the crow flies.

Various signposts show us the way up through the forest to the Holmberg (738 m), on whose highest point stands the Millennium Life Tower. Mighty and imposing, a small technical marvel, free-standing without tension cables, it stands in the forest and towers above the trees. The viewing platform, which is 30 m higher, offers a panorama with a view for many kilometers in all directions. Of course, the view is clear of the Guttenberg near Grafenschlag, the town of Gmünd and far into our neighboring country, the Czech Republic. Open: May to October, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 1 p.m.
