Bear Forest Arbesbach

Highlight • Structure

Bears born or kept in captivity can no longer be released into the wild. The BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach offers these bears a protected habitat where they can finally be bears.
It hurts your heart to read information boards about the lives of the bears that live here.
The first stage of the bear trail begins here at the parking lot at the bear sanctuary.

Dog Swimming Pond

Highlight • Lake

Bathing ponds in the Waldviertel are in short supply.

Either the waters are reserved for fishing clubs or, as here, for dogs.
At least this pond was designed with a lot of imagination and zeal.

St. Giles Parish Church and Rectory

Highlight • Religious Site

The late Baroque, listed as a hall church was built in 1761 - 1772, after 1756 the older, dating from the 13th century smaller church was burned down. For a country church, it has quite unusual dimensions (38 m long, 16 m wide, tower height 40 m) and is therefore also called the "dome of the northern Waldviertel".

The historic vicarage was rebuilt one year after the fire under Rev. Trunzer.

Historic Stone Oven of the Schöller Family

Highlight • Historical Site

The almost 200-year-old brick oven of the Schöller family has been made functional again, so that since 2001 on some weekends in July and August nineteen 1 kilo awakening are fired into the oven. After one and a half hours they come out of the oven and can be eaten on the spot. For elaborate preparation, which begins the day before, you will find information on the board.

Here next to the forest on Bärentrail there is a nice rest area overlooking an old house and a cellar. A very cozy place with history!

In the middle of the forest on Bärentrail you will find this wooden bench at a crossroads, a big carved bear sits next to it. Signposts help to orient oneself here.

Bench with Bear Sculpture on Bärentrail

Highlight • Structure

Here on the hill at the edge of the forest you have a beautiful view, if you make a break on this wooden bench. The carved bear is so small that children can sit on it. The rest bench is located on the Bärentrail.
