View of the Thaya River bend from Umlaufberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is also a bench up here for a rest. You can't see the whole loop because the hill is too low for that, but it's still great to see …

November 8, 2025,08.11.2025 - Merkersdorfer Rundwanderweg mit Aussichtswarte "Umlaufblick"

This trail offers magnificent views from two vantage points high above the Thaya River. From the new "Umlaufblick" (Circular View) observation tower, you have a wonderful view of the Austrian and Czech Umlaufberg (a hill that forms part of the Thaya River).
