Predigtstuhl Summit (718 m)
Highlight • Summit
In the 1930s there was a lookout tower, of which there are only a few anchorage holes. The Aussichsturm was popularly called "pyramid".
I can still remember when I was a child and my father said "Gemma on Piramidn" everyone knew that the sermon chair was meant. I doubt whether anyone still associates the term "pyramid" with the sermon chair today.
Small excursions into the forest around the Predigtstuhl are definitely worth it. There are lots of big and small festivals to discover.
A sign saying "View of the Dukovany nuclear power plant" is still available, but the view of the nuclear power plant should have been blocked by the tall trees for a few years. I tried to find the view a few times last year, but failed (Dukovany is only 65 km from Waidhofen an der Thaya).
In this sense: "Gemma on Piramidn!"
Supplement May 2020:
I am afraid that the sermon chair will no longer look the way it looks now.
A few years ago, we could still use signatures to prevent it being cleared to make room for wind turbines.
Now the bark beetles are there - and no signature will help. Deforestation is already beginning.
I hope that at least the giant beeches will survive - the beeches that were huge 60 years ago when I was little!

Bründl Chapel and the Healing Spring
Highlight • Religious Site
In the summer months of July and August there is a mass every Thursday at 8 a.m.
In addition, there are festive masses every August 15th (Assumption of Mary) and on the 2nd Sunday in September.
In 2021 it could look different because of Corona with the dates.
The healing spring "Marienbründl" is supposed to help with eye diseases.
The source has a 2-page entry in the book "Heilige Quellen - Niederösterreich & Burgenland" from the freya publishing house.
