The Thayatal-Podyjí Cross-Border National Park offers its visitors over 100 kilometers of hiking and biking trails! The Thaya River’s striking meanders and encircling hills define one of Central Europe’s last virtually untouched valley landscapes. The valley surprises visitors with breathtaking views and an abundance of animal and plant species. Many areas along the hiking trails have retained their pristine and unspoiled character.
With a total of five hiking trails on the Austrian side of the river and a cross-border loop trail, the national park offers hiking enthusiasts a natural paradise with stunning viewpoints over the rolling hills crisscrossed by the meandering Thaya River. Three of the six routes start right at the National Park Visitor Center and begin by passing through the “Wilderness Portal.”
But the National Park has even more highlights in store:
- National Park Visitor Center with wildcat enclosure
- Einsiedler Suspension Bridge
- Thaya Bridge & Hardegg Customs House
