Cycling

This round trip takes you through the Weinsberg Forest, the largest closed forest area in Austria, for around 145 kilometers. If you like a challenge, you can do this tour in one go. For a more leisurely cycling experience, we recommend splitting the route into two or three stages.

It starts in Altenmarkt. From here you cycle via Dorfstetten to Bärnkopf. A little way from the town is the crystal-clear Schlesingerteich, which invites you to linger and swim. The route then takes you to Arbesbach. Here you can visit the bear forest, which gives you lasting impressions of nature and animals.

On the way back south you pass the town of Rappottenstein with the impressive Rappottenstein Castle. You then cycle via Martinsberg and through the picturesque landscape back to Altenmarkt. You can end the cycle tour comfortably in one of the cozy inns here.

Bear Forest Arbesbach

Highlight • Structure

Bears born or kept in captivity can no longer be released into the wild. The BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach offers these bears a protected habitat where they can finally be bears.
It hurts your heart to read information boards about the lives of the bears that live here.
The first stage of the bear trail begins here at the parking lot at the bear sanctuary.

Burg Rappottenstein

Highlight • Castle

In the valley of the small Kamp, one of the oldest castles in the northwestern Waldviertel presents itself stylishly and proudly on a granite rock mountain.
Rapottenstein Castle tells of the interaction of the forces of nature and man, of Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance.
Here you don't just go for a walk, but an unforgettable journey during a visit.
The castle lies in the middle of an extensive Kuenringer estate.
