    St. Oswald in the southern Waldviertel is known for its beautiful views of the Alps: dominated to the north by the Burgsteinberg (1013 m), St. Oswald offers a magnificent view of the Alps to the south. Interesting are the mystical places, such as the Herzstein, Totenkopfstein, Steinerne Kornmandel etc.

    The strange stone shapes of the Yspertal valley have always fascinated people, as numerous legends and myths prove. They have yet to reveal their secrets. The 5 m high heart stone - after which two circular hiking trails are named - reminds some people of the human organ, while others - who lean towards geomancy and esotericism - recognize female forms and life symbols here and consider the granite block to be a double cult stone. In any case, it is an extremely interesting stop on a tour that also leads to other strange stone figures, such as the "skull" - which can be climbed on a staircase - or the "stone corn almond". A walk to remember.

    Small but beautiful is how you could describe the Loseneggerklamm gorge, not so steep but all the more pleasant to hike through! Wonderfully clear water rushing over the rocks, with lush greenery of moss and ferns.
