Untouched nature on the Maltsch just outside the Leopoldschlager center. A little further in the Natura2000 area there is even a viewing stand for water buffalo. 🐂

A funny photo motif, this machine that stands on the continental divide. It is powered by the water. The sculpture trail with 19 granite works of art by the Windhaag sculptor Gerhard Eilmsteiner also starts nearby.
