Experience camping idyll directly on the banks of the Dobra reservoir. The Dobra reservoir is a real jewel in the Waldviertel and is primarily known for its combination of wild nature, clean water, and magnificent landscape. It is considered the „smaller brother“ of the Ottenstein reservoir and also strongly resembles Scandinavian fjords. The branched bays and the clean water make it one of the most scenic bodies of water in Austria. Here, where the air is clearer and the nights are darker, adventurers, families, and those seeking tranquility, as well as large groups, will find a retreat in nature. Whether with a tent, van, caravan, or motorhome, freedom under the starry sky and an impressive landscape that invites you to linger await you. Away from mass tourism, you will enjoy the Waldviertel in its purest form.

A great castle ruin. The keep can be climbed. A small donation is requested. From the tower, a flight on a steel cable to the opposite bank of the Kampsee is even offered. Events also take place here.
