Right next to the chapel there is also a bench for a break. It is very quiet here, whereas down on the cycle path at the rest area it can be quite hectic.

You can also stay overnight here, even with breakfast if I remember correctly. Surely a nice experience for the whole family.

Always worth a trip. But if you are looking for peace and quiet, you should rather come by during the week, it can be quite busy on weekends.

Lots of waterfowl but unfortunately nothing to sit on.

Take a break at the main square in Waidhofen/Thaya. Enjoy a short stroll along the southern promenade or treat yourself to an ice cream or coffee at one of the pastry shops in Böhmgasse or Niederleutnerstraße.

If you're planning to explore this area by bike, on a run, or while hiking, make sure to bring your own Merlot. The region is known for its stunning views and outdoor activities, but finding a good spot to enjoy a glass of wine can be a challenge. Packing your favorite Merlot ensures you can savor a well-deserved drink after your adventure!

The town hall with its stepped gables is the town's landmark. It was built around 1520. Changing exhibitions are held in the historic building. It's definitely worth a visit!
