Stone cave

Highlight • Cave

The stone cave on the way to the Himmelsleiter is the first project of the Schremser Naturparkverein chairman Martin Speychal. In keeping with the region, it is made of solid Schrems granite and painted inside with Stone Age images. A low, S-shaped passage leads through the cave.

Himmelsleiter Observation Tower (Hochmoor Schrems Nature Park)

Highlight • Viewpoint

You have to overcome 108 steps - then you are a whole lot closer to heaven. With the ladder to heaven, a 20 meter high work of art was placed in nature, from which you can enjoy a fantastic view of the green surroundings.

Schrems High Moor

Highlight • Natural Monument

It is almost reminiscent of the national parks in Sweden, the mystical high moor near Schrems. With a size of 300 hectares it was once the largest bog in Lower Austria. An experience to stroll through the beautiful moorland...

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!

Himmelsleiter Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Himmelsleiter is a viewing platform in the Hochmoor Nature Park in Schrems, which offers a perfect panoramic view of the moor landscape. The wooden structure consists of 58 pairs of spruce trunks, each 19.4 m long. Between these trunks, the 108-step steel staircase with several mezzanines leads up to the 33 m long platform at a height of approx. 18.4 m.
