Blockheide Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Located directly opposite the lookout tower. Apart from cool drinks, there is good regional cuisine and dishes from the charcoal grill.

Nice excursion destination in the border area, with lots of information about the boulders (wobbling stones) and of course about the 15th eastern longitude, which runs here. A station has also been set up for fans of the Celtic tree circle. Themed trails of various lengths and only slight differences in altitude, so no increased fitness requirements. Entrance from Gmünd or Eibenstein, there are enough parking spaces.

You can hike at any time, only the shop, exhibition and observation tower have opening hours. Everything is closed in bad weather.

Wackelstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

In addition to many exciting granite roundlings in the middle of blueberry bushes, you can find the big wobble stone. A Neanderthal sculpture is hidden behind the table and benches. The idyllic place in the forest invites adults to linger and children to play.

Cheese in the Loaf

Highlight • Natural Monument

A really original looking granite formation with an equally original name and probably the first burger in the world is what locals call "Kas im Loab" = cheese in a (bread) loaf.
You should have seen it!

You can find the exact story on an information board in front of the stone and in the photos here!

Schrems Moor Bath

Highlight • Lake

In summer, bathers can use the Moorbad outdoor pool and some bathing ponds in the vicinity. (E.g. the Elia pond, which is the warmest swimming pond in the municipality. Please do not jump into the water! Because of the shallow water there is a risk of injury!)

The water of this natural bathing pond, which has always been said to have beneficial effects by the local population, comes directly from the raised bog.

With the leisure facility Moorbad, visitors have a modern, natural outdoor pool with countless possibilities.

In addition to a spacious wooden terrace, a grass terrace, a lawn for sunbathing, four jetties and a sandy beach filled with Danube pebbles await the bathers. A fascinating footbridge - the "floating stones" - leads to the small island at the end of the bathing area. A beach volleyball court was set up on the south bank.
