Raabs an der Thaya town square

Highlight • Settlement

Here on the main square of Raabs, tools for bike repairs are provided.
In the best case - i.e. with good frequency and suitable weather, the ice cream van is right next to it and is open.

From here you have a great view of Raabs Castle, which sits high on its steep cliff above the town. The castle is privately owned, but visits and guided tours are possible by arrangement.

Through shady forest and across wide fields and meadows, it goes along the route of the former local train Göpfritz - Raabs. The bike path on this section is flat and nicely paved. It is really fun to cycle.

Wonderful Wald4tel 🌲🌳🌲 with beautiful views. This tour runs consistently on bike paths and low-traffic roads. We found the Thayatal cycle path on a former railway line 🚉, which we had cycled in sections, to be particularly beautiful and pleasant 😊.
