Thaya River Border Crossing Bridge (Thayatal National Park)

Highlight • Bridge

Don't forget your passport when hiking to the Czech Republic! A place steeped in history that brings back memories of terrible personal fates! We met a man whose family was separated by the border for many years; they only saw each other on occasional visits. Bunkers, customs houses and the remains of the Iron Curtain in Čížov are reminders of a bad past. How nice it is that people from both countries can meet again while hiking in the large shared national park.

Hardegg

Highlight • Settlement

Community of 1,300 people near the border with the Czech Republic. The castle is particularly worth seeing. Hardegg is the smallest town in Austria and the center of the Thayatal National Park.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The viewing point is on the way from Hardegg to the Maxplateau. Access is almost a climb, but there is also a handrail. Great view of the Hardegg Castle and suburb.
