The Fassldorf ceased operations in July 2016. A unique attraction is the Fassldorf near Bad Großpertholz. From huge wooden barrels, Mr. Hahn and his family have designed a village with habitable huts. The village is created in the middle of dark pine forests around a fishpond.

Parish Church of St. Martin (Pfarrkirche St. Martin im Waldviertel)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Martin in the Waldviertel is located in St. Martin in the market town of St. Martin in Lower Austria. The parish church hl. Martin belongs to the deanery Gmünd in the Diocese of St. Pölten. The church is a listed building.

Documented in 1340 was called a Vicariate. The single-nave, originally Romanesque, Ostturmkirche was baroque in the second quarter of the 18th century and widened to the west. In 1889 the church was renovated. In 1948 a restoration took place.

The church is located north of the main square on the thoroughfare and is surrounded by a cemetery. The square choir tower - in the core Romanesque - has bricked and eastern an unmade-in coupled arched window and east side a gothic single-tracery window and south side a baroque flat arched window and an onion helmet from the year 1858. The north-sided sacristian building is in the core Romanesque. The simple nave has Baroque flat-arched windows. The baroque façade with a gable has a figurine niche with baroque portal porches under curved gable in the form of the facade.

Lainsitz River

Highlight • River

DescriptionThe route along the Lužná starts at the beautifully designed spring in the form of a small chapel. It rises very close to the border at an altitude of almost 1000 m, high in the mountains that are not far above 1000 m. On the Austrian side, the mountain range is called the Bohemian Forest (Šumava), on the Czech side it is called the "Novohradské Mountains". The small stream flows down into the valley where the border runs, gets bigger, flows for a few kilometers on Czech territory and then changes back to Austria. There is no hiking trail through this part of the river basin. Therefore, our route runs through the municipality of Karlstift and after six kilometers leads back to the Lužná.
Soon after, the route splits into two alternative routes. The main route continues into the beautiful valley and through the municipality of St. Martin to the historic town of Weitra. The second variant leads to the highest point of the entire route, to the Nebelstein (1017 m), and from here back down to Weitra. A few kilometers before the largest city on the Austrian side - Gmünd - the route runs over a wide mountain plateau, rich in water, and at the edge of the mountain plateau near Gmünd past large stone blocks, which lie individually or in clusters and are typical of the "Waldviertel" area.
The historic center of Gmünd with its small, very beautiful town hall and the famous facades of some Renaissance houses offers an experience for fans of classical architecture. Also interesting is the waterfall that the Lainsitz forms in the middle of the city, right at the border crossing to České Velenice. From Gmünd the route leads north through a slightly undulating landscape with many beautiful forests, parallel to the Czech border. In the municipality of Brand there is a beautiful pond with a large swimming pool. Czechs will probably be reminded of the landscape of the Czech Canada near Nová Bystřice, where both landscapes merge.

Lainsitz Valley Bridge in Schützenberg, near Weitra

Highlight • Bridge

Every driver knows this long and high bridge from a trip to Weitra.
I was also very impressed by it from below on my tour in the Lainsitztal.
That's where you get the real impression of this structure.

What I liked best was the fact that you can not only change sides of the road under the bridge here, but that you can also look directly at the bridge support.

I've never seen it this close before.

The holder of the bearing rollers including the measuring device - everything can be admired at eye level!
