The tower of the children's and bird experience world is currently being converted into a climbing paradise and is largely finished as of April 2026. Views are still possible during opening hours, but there are no more birds. Instead, there are great climbing walls! For more detailed information, please contact the municipality of Rechnitz: https://www.rechnitz.at/de/
