Hardegg, National Park House

Route description Hennerweg

Starting at the deciduous wave at the parking lot in front of the National Park House, the path leads about 50 m along the state road towards Hardegg, then turns right into the forest before the curve and initially follows the Einsiedlerweg - Kirchensteig 2. After a short distance, the path splits. The Hennerweg continues to the right to the first station. At the beech trunks, the importance of deadwood is illustrated, and visitors can actively engage with tactile boxes and viewing holes.

After about 10 minutes of walking, you reach a forest road that leads to the viewpoint. Along this route, the forest communities of the National Park are explained using three typical deciduous leaves (oak, hornbeam, beech). At the viewpoint, you have a wonderful view of the town of Hardegg and the meanders of the Thaya with their various habitats. In the oversized city chronicle book, you can learn interesting facts about the history of the town and Hardegg Castle. Now you return a short distance on the forest road to the next station of the themed trail, a huge saw. Here, the conservation and renaturation measures of the National Park are explained. Passing the last station with information about visitor services, you reach the National Park House again via a field path to the right.
