Tips from the Community
First of all, we would like to thank you for your extremely interesting comments and now share our opinion. As a nature- and culture-friendly community, we have come to the conclusion that the term "desertification" is, in our opinion, a mere exaggeration and that you, dear Mr. Laurenz, have merely used it as a vague umbrella term for the precious, fertile agricultural soil of the Weinviertel. Consider this fountain in this little corner of Eden, but as a timeless testament to the important agricultural advances that have taken place in northern Lower Austria in recent decades. Technical advances in these sectors have revolutionized agriculture and forestry and made life in the countryside easier. Let us leave these primitive times behind us, and with them this spring, which serves as a monument to the past, and look forward with joy to a future full of luxury and abundance.

The Mariengrotte is a 15-meter-high half-cave beneath the Falkenstein castle ruins, which was designed as a Lourdes grotto in 1889. The larger-than-life statues - of the Mother of God and St. Bernadette - are the work of Theodor Haf from Pfronten, a sculptor in Munich.

http://www.staatz.at/Kalvarienberg_Heiliger_Berg_ An extraordinary sight of the market town of Staatz is the Calvary, the "Holy Mountain" in the town of Enzersdorf, located in the west on the federal highway 46. A Calvary was erected in 1743 on the probable local mountain from the 11th century. The "Holy Mountain" is a mound of earth of unknown origin. Two assumptions: The first assumption says that the mound is a burial mound from the Hallstatt period around 750 BC. The second: it is a local mountain from the 11th century. Both possibilities have already been documented with finds, but not proven with certainty.

Today, intensive use tends to squeeze the water into narrow, deepened channels already in the spring area – like the mistletoe creek bed. Some Frättingsdorfer still remember the cup that was attached to a string at the spring to invite people to drink. In the meantime, no water is visible in the Mistelbach at the place of the Mistelstein. At around 3 m below the surface, the source area is deeper than in previous years. The small stream begins a little below. Drainage and stream regulation lowered the water level in the ground. A dry microclimate was promoted by rapid water drainage in the regulated stream and the lack of water reservoirs such as meadows. Intensive farming above the mistletoe source without permanent ground cover caused the soil to shift and thus be deposited in the source area.
