Ideal for a stopover with a charging station and bike station for minor repairs and a pump. If you have your own charger, you can plug it in, but charging cables are also available.

The heart of the nature park is the raised moor near the town of Heidenreichstein in the northwestern Waldviertel. The open moor areas and the forest on the edge of the Winkelauer Pond bear witness to a vegetation history that goes back more than 10,000 years. Areas of peat moss, sundew and cotton grass give an idea of the original moorland landscape.
