Here a foot and cycle bridge takes you over the Deutsche Thaya. As you cross, you have great views of the river.

It's unbelievable what there is in this shop - lots of herbal teas, ointments, tinctures, liqueurs, extracts, even the famous marigold ointment. It's best to get advice, the staff are incredibly knowledgeable about herbs and their possible uses.

In this small hut you can take a seat and treat yourself to a break in the middle of the green idyll. There is even a barbecue facility!

The pioneer footbridge is part of the forest nature trail in the Dobersberg Nature Park. Over a total of around one and a half kilometers you will learn everything about the Thayatal habitat on this informative educational trail.

As one of 1,600 natural monuments in Lower Austria, the Paulstein is located directly on the Thaya and offers you not only a beautiful view, but also wonderful nature all around.
