Ruins of Kollmitz Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle ruins of Kollmitz, well worth seeing, are enthroned on a rock high above the Thaya. The medieval complex was once one of the most important in Lower Austria, today you can still admire meter-high walls, two round towers and ramparts.

Kollmitz Castle was first mentioned in a document in the 12th century, then it was owned by various noble families, the Geras Abbey, and was left to decay around 1800 when the roofs, attics and false ceilings were removed. Many buildings in the area were built partly from stones and shingles from the castle.

Guided tours are carried out by appointment and there is also a snack station. You can find all information at kollmitz.at.

Raabs an der Thaya town square

Highlight • Settlement

Here on the main square of Raabs, tools for bike repairs are provided.
In the best case - i.e. with good frequency and suitable weather, the ice cream van is right next to it and is open.

In the sauna world, the herbal, thayatal and castle saunas as well as the aromatic steam bath offer a wide range.

Linden Avenue Between Speisendorf and Raabs an der Thaya

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

Wonderful gravel road between Speisendorf and Raabs / Th.
The protected parts of the state road 8065 extend over the cadastral communities Alberndorf, Raabs an der Thaya and Speisendorf. An avenue of lime trees stretches along the state road, which is also protected as a natural monument in the three cadastral communities.
