Tips from the Community
The Bildstock (created around 1629), of exceptional height, stands at the exit of Paudorf towards Kleinwien on the Zellerweg. A brick pillar rests on a prismatic base and, above a wide, richly articulated cornice, carries a tabernacle with four round-arched niches between small corner pillars. On the roadside, there is a small square niche that was added later. The tiled roof bears a richly decorated iron cross.

On the Eichberg, southeast of Paudorf, lies the largest stand of giant sequoias in Austria. Adalbert Dungel was the forest master of the Göttweig Abbey from 1877 to 1886 and in 1880 planted several seeds of "Wellingtonia gigantea" in the ground. Today, these "Adalbert Wellingtonias" as true giant sequoias tower over the treetops of the surrounding forests.
